The Hagerman Tour Event and West Coast Championship Qualifier was a battle, with the lead changing hands multiple times throughout the day. 25 anglers caught 93 fish at Hagerman.

Wind was on at the start and died off at sunrise for a solid four hrs and then about 11:30 came back strong pushed most anglers off the water by 1:00 pm.

HERE ARE THE ANGLERS WHO CAME OUT ON TOP:

Brad Andrews – $787.50
Jed Rivera – $328.13

Idaho River Sports Big Bass Winner:

It pays to buy-in! Victor Jaime had the biggest fish of the tournament with an 18.25″ largemouth but Victor didn’t buy in. So Brad Andrews won with a 17.25” largemouth, and took home $218.50 cash and a $100.00 gift card to Idaho River Sports! Nice fish Brad!
