Wal-Mart FLW Kingfish Tour - Final Qualifying Event in Southport
 Over $1.82 million is on the line as anglers try to make the postseason of the Wal-Mart FLW Kingfish Tour in this weekend's final qualifying event in Southport. The final regular-season tournament offers teams one last chance to earn points toward the no-entry-fee FLW Kingfish Tour Championship to be held in Mount Pleasant, SC on November 9-11. All teams will fish for two days, and each team is allowed to weigh one king mackerel per day. The minimum length limit is 30 inches. The top five teams that record the biggest catches over Thursday and Friday will advance to Saturday's final round. On Saturday, each team's biggest king will be added to their first two day's weight to determine the winner. 89 boats are fishing the tournament and the total prize pool is set at $300,000. At the end of Day 1, Team Nailhead from Gainesville, GA leads all teams with a 42-pound, 9-ounce king mackerel that bit a slow-trolled ribbonfish that was presented near the bottom of the water column in about 40 feet of water. More on the FLW tournament and Day 1 in Southport is available from the FLW website.
