Image for Jacobs wins $5,000 CITGO award
Co-angler John Jacobs of Birmingham, Ala., shows off a 4-pound, 15-ounce smallmouth. The fish was large enough to give Jacobs the day's Big Bass award and $750. In addition, Jacobs two-day catch of 26 pounds, 10 ounces was good enough for a second-place ranking heading into the semifinals. Photo by Gary Mortenson. Angler: John Jacobs.

As a part of the co-angler contingency program through the Wal-Mart FLW Tour, all FLW co-angler participants were eligible for a $5000 cash prize awarded by CITGO. The winner was to be drawn at the FLW Tour Championship event at Lake Champlain, N.Y. But since the championship was canceled, the drawing was recently held at CITGO’s corporate office. Congratulations to the winning co-angler, John Jacobs of Birmingham, Ala.
