2020 AOY Standings

The first of several Angler of the Year standings have been released and the race is tighter than ever. The full AOY Standings can be found by following the link at the bottom of this article. New names and familiar faces line the top 40 anglers. That statement cannot ring more true than at the top of the standings. Jake Ainsworths who has just finished his 4th event with the OKA, spanning over two seasons holds the #1 spot over long time OKA angler Josh Barlow. Ainsworth compiled his points with a win at Lake Murray and a 9th place finish at the latest Lone Chimney, Hominy, and Pawnee Lakes road runner. Angler Josh Barlow has a 3rd place finish at Lake Murray and a 13th place finish at Lone Chimney, Hominy, and Pawnee lake road runner. The battle for first cannot be understated as the AOY champion will win $1,000 and a 2021 season sponsorship by Dobyns rods as well as some good looking hardware.

Angler of the Year points as well as Newcomer of the Year points are compiled from each event and anglers are given points based on their tournament finish as follows. 1st Place: 100 points, 2nd Place: 99 points, and 3rd place: 98 points and so on. Anglers who do not score a legal fish during the event will receive a -15 points from the last angler to score a legal fish. Anglers will have their best 5 events scored to compile the final AOY standings. However, anglers can only have 1 online event count towards AOY and NOY standings. The final AOY and NOY standings will be released Sunday, September 20th after the final trail event on Lake Tenkiller. The top 40 anglers in those final standings will be formally invited to the State Championship held on Lake Texoma in mid October.

OKA Event # 2 Recap: Barham wins at the end

OKA event #2 has concluded and as always the weather and fishing does its best to not cooperate. Anglers experienced low temperatures, intense fog, high winds, muddy water, and post cold front bass. However, top anglers always find a way to catch em' and put a 5-fish limit together. Out of 66 anglers only 116 bass were scored. Moreover, Only 9 anglers were able to fill the limit of 5 bass. As the saying goes, its called fishing and not catching for a reason. Nevertheless, someone always rises to the top to cash out the top payout.  Angler Chance Barham was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma and has been fishing since he could walk. Barham has only been kayak fishing for the last year when he discovered Greg Blanchard's  kayak fishing channel on Youtube. Barham fished at Hominy Lake and used a green pumpkin Senko with the tip dipped in garlic chartreuse and dead-sticked it all day. At 1:40PM, Barham sat in 11th place on tourneyx and wanted to throw in the towel. Soon after 1...
