Matt Ball wins “The Best of the Best” on Lake Jordan

Jackson Kayak’s Matt Ball won the Best of the Best one-versus-one kayak fishing tournament against Hobie Fishing’s Jay Wallen this past weekend in Wetumpka, AL.  The event pitted the Kayak Bass Fishing (KBF) National Championship winner, Ball, against the KBF Angler of the Year, Wallen on Lake Jordan and the Coosa River below the Lake Jordan Dam from February 24-26.

The three-day event had the anglers fishing below the Jordan Dam on Day 1 and Lake Jordan on Day 2 while the anglers could pick either body of water on Day 3.  Both anglers chose to fish on the lake on Day 3.  The anglers were allowed to score their five longest fish each day for a 15 fish aggregate.

Ball scored 181.25 inches in 13 fish over the three days while Wallen was only able to catch seven fish for 100.75 inches.  Wallen caught the largest fish of the event at 18.25 inches but was unable to max out his stringers on each day costing him the win.
