Our man Big Fred Contaoi had he best showing yet at a Wal Mart-FLW Tour stop this weekend, when he placed 26th out of a field of 155 pros at Arkansas’s Beaver Lake.
For his efforts, Big Boy earned a check for $13,000 — which comes out to be $1,300 per bass over the two days he fished! Contaoi weighed in 5 fish for 9 pounds, 2 ounces on Thursday and then followed that up with 5 that weighed 9 pounds, 13 ounces on Friday. He’s two day total was 18 pounds, 15 ounces and was a mere 4 pounds out of the top 10 — and making the cut.
Though the standings have yet to be released, the 26th place finish, along with placing 85, 58 and 71 at the first three FLW Tour events of the year, should keep Contaoi very much alive in the points race to qualify for the $1 Million Forrest Wood Cup in Pittsburgh in late July.
Nice work, Big Fred!
