Humminbird® and Minn Kota® to Release First One-Boat Challenge Episode on March 19

RACINE, Wis. (March 17, 2020) — The One-Boat Challenge, a four-part web series from Humminbird® and Minn Kota®, will debut its first episode on Thursday, March 19. The first show kicks off the series with the opening ceremony and an introduction to the eight strangers as they find themselves at Lake El Salto, Mexico for the competition. The contestants will battle using One-Boat Network™ technologies to see which team can catch the most fish for a chance to win $10,000 for their fishing charity of choice. The losers get a rude awakening and a trip back to reality.
 
Episode one will introduce the two-angler teams who all have a passion for competition and are all from different fishing disciplines and backgrounds. The teams will be faced with a series of challenges testing their fishing abilities, smarts and technical savvy with the One Boat Network. For the entirety of the competition, anglers relied on Humminbird SOLIX® units, MEGA 360 Imaging®, Talon shallow water anchors and a Minn Kota Ultrex™ trolling motor to help them locate and catch some of the most famous black bass in the world.

Contestants and their charity of choice include:

The teams were outfitted with gear from some of fishing’s most esteemed brands, including AFTCO, Angler’s Inn, Abu Garcia, Berkley, Gerber, Old Town Kayak, Rapala, Plano, Shimano, St. Croix Rods, StrikeKing and VMC. Vexus Boats, rigged with the One-Boat Network, were towed by Toyota USA trucks and SUVs throughout the competition.

Beginning on Thursday, March 19, episodes will release on  OneBoatChallenge.com and Minn Kota’s YouTube channel.
