SQ Registration & Rules
Lake of the Ozarks
May 17th 2026
Well, it came around fast! Our last solo series top 100 SQ qualifier at Lake of the Ozarks out of Drake Harborfeatured 66 of the best anglers in the Midwest. Not only competing for that first place finish, but also to make that top 30 points to qualify for the 2027 season of the Solo Series Top 100. The river up there will usually be good this time of year, but that was not the case on Sunday. The water was completely shut off, and the lake dropped almost 4 ft within a couple of days, making for extremely tough conditions.
1st Place
Randy Blauket - 13.47lbs
Prizes:
Randy Blaukat took First Place with 13.47 pounds. After a horrible practice and having just zeroed at the BFL tournament, Randy was really worried about this tournament. He had a lot riding on this tournament. Randy knew if he zeroed, he may not be able to fish the 2027 season of the Solo Series Top 100. He got in about ten hours of practice but did not really learn anything, so on tournament morning he decided to just go fish. Randy found success with a black and chartreuse Mega Bass S series crank bait, taking home $1,300 plus $5,000 Anglers Port Marine gift certificate.
2nd Place
Mark Moody - 12.90lbs
Prizes:
Second Place went to Mark Moody with 12.90 pounds. Mark did not have a lot of experience on LOZ, but a fish is a fish. He also had a tough practice, but he excels at shallow water angling. Mark was able to catch a 5.95 forBig Bass of the tournament and get second place. He caught his fish on a mix of spinner bait, a chatter bait, and a square bill on an all day bite. Mark took won $1,000 for 2nd place and $660 for Big Bass.
3rd Place
Austin Frahm - 13.81lbs
Prizes:
Austin Frahm rounded out the top three with 13.81 pounds. Using a half ounce black and blue jig and zoom chunk, he skipped and flipped as many docks as he could in the backs of creeks, but most of his bites came from one area. Austin took home $800

Pomme de Terre
April 12th 2026
It happened! Solo Series Top 100 SQ Stop #2 is done. A lot of the anglers reported that the bigs were showing up during pre-fishing, but as we all know, that can change overnight. Many of the 83 anglers caught several keepers, but getting a quality bite was few and far between.
1st Place
Joshua Beck - 17.21lbs
Prizes:
Joshua Beck took First Place with 17.21, and second Big Bass of 6.27. Joshua said he was on an all day bite, catching quality fish on a mix of a stick bait, chatter bait, and a spinner bait. His second cast of the day scored the Big Bass and set the mood for the day. He took home $1,400 + Angler’s Port Marine $5,000 gift certificate.
2nd Place
Brett Hurst - 16.73lbs
Prizes:
2nd place went to Brett Hurst with a total weight of 16.73, and Big Bass of the tournament- an absolute monsterof 7.69 that paid him $1200 plus $830 for Big Bass. Brett caught most of his fish on a spinner bait, and the big one was his fifth keeper coming at 10:30 a.m. off of a lay down.
3rd Place

Prizes:
Cody Hampton took 3rd place with 14.24, winning $1,000. Cody said he’d had a pretty rough practice, and around 10 o’clock decided to scrap everything he was doing and just fish.
