Early frustration followed by an entertaining comeback effort by Mike Iaconelli are among the highlights from the second webisode of Major League Fishing’s Challenge Cup. The program became available beginning Monday on MLF's Advance Cast Pay-Per-View online channel.
The second webisode features action from day 2 of the Challenge Cup and can be accessed by clicking here. The lively day of fishing features an inside-the-boat look at the ups and downs of the volatile Iaconelli, as well as come-from-behind runs by two other competitors.
"There's no doubt that some strong personalities take center stage on the second day of competition," said MLF commissioner Don Rucks. "And as we in this business know, there’s no stronger on-the-water personality than Mike Iaconelli. I think people will enjoy watching what happens with Mike and seeing if he’s able to make the cut to the next round."
The second-day lineup also includes Tommy Biffle, Takahiro Omori, Alton Jones, Todd Faircloth, Shaw Grigsby, Denny Brauer and Edwin Evers.
“Several of our anglers had especially interesting days," said Rucks. "For example, I believe viewers will get caught up in what happens with Tommy Biffle. And, again we had a tight race to see which angler would get the critical 4th-place spot.”
During webisode 1, which followed Elimination Round Day 1 Challenge Cup action, Jason Quinn, Gary Klein, Kevin VanDam and Brent Ehrler advanced to the next round of competition. Ehrler edged out Aaron Martens by a quarter of a pound to capture the critical 4th-place spot. Quinn took 1st place by catching nearly 60 pounds using an Alabama Rig.
Major League Fishing is offering seven webisodes, one airing each week. Each of the first six webisodes follow the corresponding competition day. The seventh webisode will be a wrap-up show, featuring in-depth, on-the-water segments with the winners from each round and the Challenge Cup champion. The Advance Cast total-event BassPass, a package of all seven webisodes, costs $17.94, with individual episodes available for $2.99 each.
