Winning Team
SPOILER ALERT: stop reading now if you haven’t watched Episode 4.
The unique chemistry of the Red Team, comprised by Seth Funt and Charlie Breitenbach, was evident from their first meeting at the airport. “I thought, ‘I hope I’m not partnered with him,’” Seth recalled, shortly after he and Charlie won the first-ever One-Boat Challenge. Although they may have been an odd couple, Seth’s intensity and technical acumen, paired with Charlie’s even keel and laidback sense of humor, proved an unbeatable combination. Their shared passion for fishing made for memorable days on the water, and an unforgettable finish. Congrats to both on their incredible victory.

Giveaway Winner
One lucky angler is set to embark on a One-Boat Challenge of his own. After his recent retirement, Joe T. was already pursuing a Vexus boat to fish bass tournaments in his home state of Missouri. Rigging out his new fishing machine got a whole lot easier when Joe learned he was the winner of the One-Boat Challenge Giveaway. He’ll be taking home his own One-Boat Network setup, complete with an Ultrex trolling motor, SOLIX fish finder and Talon shallow water anchor. From Lake El Salto to the Ozarks, Minn Kota and Humminbird are helping anglers everywhere dominate.
