Sirius Angler Chip Harrison Wins Cash At Champlain

June 23, 2006

Sirius Satellite Radio angler Chip Harrison did very well at the FLW Tour event at Lake Champlain. Chip recorded a 21st place finish which was enough to net him $10,750 for his efforts.

In the two days of fishing, Chip reeled in 10 fish that weighed in at 31 pounds 8 ounces. This was less than 2 pounds off of being in the top 10 for the event. Chip had a strong showing both days, and was in the running throughout the 2 days. The top 10 anglers participate in an additional 2 days of fishing for the top prizes.

The strong showing at Champlain gives Chip a good shot at being a participant in the Championship event. Chip went into the Champlain tournament just a six spots shy of the championship qualifying level. The championship event will be held at Logan Martin Lake in Birmingham Alabama on August 2nd through the 5th.

While we will have to wait for the final results from Champlain, it appears that Chip did well enough to be headed to Alabama.

Congratulations Chip on a great performance at Champlain.
