The dominant father/son team of John and Jordan Kerr had a 19 point lead heading into Sunday's (June 15th, 2008) final event at Lake Hodges to win their second consecutive Aim Marine Sunday Series Angler of the Year title. With 25 teams entered, they only needed to "lay-up" to secure the title. They left no questions at the end of the day as to who the top team is in the Sunday Series. Removing all the drama from the title race, John and Jordan weighed in 15.28 pounds anchored by a 6.10 pound kicker fish. That bag of fish earned them big fish of the tournament, first place, and the Angler of the Year Title.
John caught their 6 pound fish on a spinnerbait in the morning, their first fish of the day. They caught spinnerbait fish, sight fish, and drop shotted wacky-rigged slim senkos to produce their regal bag of fish.
Not surprisingly, in second place was Mike Long who had 13.10 pounds with a 5.70 pound fish that was the second largest of the contest. Long reported catching his fish on silver colored crankbaits fished tight to rock.
Less than a pound behind him was the husband/wife team of Mike and Leigh McLernon with 12.32 pounds and the third largest fish of the tournament at 4.65 pounds.
The top ten teams appeared in this order
- John and Jordan Kerr
- Mike Long
- Mike and Leigh McLernon
- Garrett Mercer and Kellen Ellis
- Herman De La Garza and Kimberly Port
- Ralph and Tyler Huberts
- Joe Aldridge and Danny Price
- Kevin Norling and Joe Sorrells
- Brian and Lucy Toedt
- Jeff and Debbie Wilkey
