First place in the Salty Feather Slam went to Ken Martin,

trout. Although Ken has been fishing in kayaks for 4
years, it was his first fishing tournament ever and
he prevailed over many experienced fisherman including
several local guides.
The StrikeZone Fishing Biggest Trout was won by 33-year-old
Jacksonville-native Ryan Jones. His winning 23"
trout was caught with live shrimp on a float rig.
The StrikeZone Biggest Red was won by 26 year old Jon
Ward of Riverview, FL with a 27" red. In a "Hardcore
Fishing Moment" Jon prefished for the tournament
during the Times-Union Spot Tourney last week by departing
Tampa at 3am, driving to Jacksonville, fishing from
7:30am to 4pm, then driving back to Tampa that night
after catching a 6 spot 25" red and a 31"
red. He returned to his prefishing site and hooked his
winning 27" red with a spinner bait.
