Holden Northcott & Austin Hughes Win Chowan River, NC Tidewater April 11, 2026. 25.88 lbs $2,200.00

The anglers blasting off from Shoups landing on the Chowan River this morning were blessed with a picture-perfect spring morning.

Reports were that the cool week and low water had made prefishing a bit challenging. But as usual some of these guys figured them out.

The team of Holden Northcott and Austin Hughes figured out how to make the big girls bite on a whole different level then the rest of the field bringing in a 25.88 lb sack of Chowan chunks anchored by two 7lbers to earn a $2200 payday!!

Finishing in a very respectable second place was the team of Bobby Clarke and Tommy Hughes with a 21.12 lb bag anchored by a 6.24 big fish.

The third-place team of Rick Plemons and Chris Pike weighed a 19.15 lb bag with the lunker of the day weighing 8.33lbs!

The following teams rounded out the $ winners.

4th Michael Evans and Brian Meadows 16.73lbs

5th Chris Turner and Quintin Chappel 16.31 lbs

6th Nathan Welch and Ethan Welch 16.15 lbs
