Six Regionals will also have a $300 per boater and $150 per co-angler entry fee in 2022, resulting in enhanced payouts of more than 200 percent per tournament with the top 40 boaters and co-anglers receiving checks – up from 24 in previous seasons.
AOY Prizes
In addition to tournament winnings and postseason opportunities, the Angler of the Year in each division receives $1,000. On the co-angler side, the best in each division takes home $500 in Strike King Co-angler of the Year prize money.
Postseason Opportunities
This season, anglers can qualify for six regionals where the first-place boater and co-angler each take home a brand-new Phoenix bass boat. The winning boater also pockets $10,000 in addition to the boat and the highest finishing boater from each division at a regional receives a $1,000 bonus. The highest finishing co-angler from each division at a regional receives a $500 bonus. Regional qualification goes to the top 45 anglers in each division, plus the winners of the qualifiers and the Super Tournaments.
Competitors can also qualify for a no-entry-fee Wild Card if they fail to qualify for their Regional but pay entry fees for all five tournaments in a division and fish at least two of the tournaments in that division.
The top six boaters and co-anglers from each Regional and the Wild Card in 2022 qualify to fish the no-entry-fee All-American in 2023. The highest finisher from each Regional and the Wild Card at the All-American advance to the Toyota Series Championship.
