Official results.

Now for the winners at Dream Fields Fishing Tournament in the Michael Hoyt Special Angler Division. For the first time in tournament history, first place resulted in a tie. Same weight, same time. Aaron Smith and his cousin, Travis Smith (both descendants of Lady Kilmarnock of Kilmarnock, Scotland, and coincidently the sister city to Kilmarnock, where this tournament was held) share the honors. Jeff Cogswell took 2nd, and Jay Choi took third in a fleet of 76 boats.
