Should the race for FLW Tour Angler of the Year (AOY) end in a tie next week at Lake Champlain, the crown will go to the pro who accumulates the most weight over the six Majors.
David Dudley, who holds a 1-point lead over Jim Moynagh, has weighed 220-07 this season and has the jump on the rest of the Top 10 except 10th-place Jay Yelas, who has amassed 229-08. Moynagh has caught 218-15.
A tie for AOY has not happened before – Dudley beat Brent Ehrler by 1 point in 2008 – but with the Top 10 separated by 72 points, it's entirely within the realm of possibility.
