Team Ocean Kayak dominated this kayak series with:

• Vincent Rinando winning - Angler of the Year
• Captain Filip Spencer’s - 2nd place Angler of the Year
• Sam Rinando with - 3rd Place Angler of the Year for a clean sweep

This was a very competitive tournament series with Vincent, Filip and Sam only separated by 10 points going into the final leg of the series. Captain Filip Spencer placed 3rd overall in the stringer division for the Port Aransas event and Vincent Rinando placed 5th giving him enough points to hold off Captain Filip Spencer by one point. Fishing was tough under a post frontal weather pattern. Vincent’s fish came at his third stop for the day and within two hours of the weigh in time limit. Sam Rinando had similar results misconnecting on a large redfish as time was running out. This was the second Angler of the Year title that Team Ocean Kayak has won this year.

Team Ocean Kayak placed:

1. 1st, 2nd, and 4th in the Texas Redfish Series
2. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the Third Coast Kayak Series for Angler of the Year.
