n four years on the FLW Tour as a co-angler, Gary Haraguchi of Redding, Calif. has made quite a mark. Haraguchi wrapped up the 2016 season in the runner-up position for FLW Tour Co Angler of the Year (AOY). He returned this year to win it.
The FLW Tour Co-Angler of the Year title wasn’t the only honor he claimed during the 2017 season, Haraguchi also earned the FLW Costa Series Northern Division Co-AOY, a victory at the FLW Series stop at Thousand Islands and a top-10 spot in five FLW events including the FLW Series Championship at Kentucky Lake.
Haraguchi slayed!
Following his amazing season, Haraguchi sat down to answer the questions that we had about being a western co on Tour across the country... what it’s like and how it is done.
