Missing the cut by just over a pound is never fun, but winning $1,000 just for being accurate on your BassTrakk estimates makes it sting a little less. That’s exactly what second year Elite Series pro Jonathan Kelley did this week at the SiteOne Bassmaster Elite at Lake Okeechobee by winning the BassTrakk Contingency Prize.
The BassTrakk prize is rewarded to the angler whose BassTrakk estimates are closest to his official weight after two days of competition. To be eligible to win, the angler has to catch a limit on both days of competition.
Jonathan Kelley and Austin Felix were both off by just two ounces, but Kelley won the tie-breaker with the biggest one day catch. The Pennsylvania pro’s two day catch weighed 28-7, and his BassTrakk estimate was 28-9.
This was Kelley’s first time to win the award.
Here’s the BassTrakk Contingency Top 10, and how far off each was from their official weight.
• Jonathan Kelley: 0-2
• Austin Felix: 0-2
• Jamie Hartman: 0-3
• John Crews: 0-4

• Ed Loughran: 0-5
• Scott Martin: 0-6
• Rick Clunn: 0-6
• Koby Kreiger: 0-8
