Victoria Pro, Mark Robinson takes another National Championship. When Mark Robinson showed up in South Padre Island for a few days of practice he already had a slight advantage having fished multiple other Elite tournaments in these same waters but what he wasn't expecting was to be greeted by such a finicky bite from the usually very receptive South Texas Redfish. As one would expect Mark made his normal milk runs to check locations that he had previously fished with some success and while he found fish and a lot of them, the sizes were smaller than usual and they were extremely tight lipped.

Bo finished the season with a 4th place finish at the 2022 National Championship 3 day redfish tournament held at Jim's Pier located on South Padre Island Texas and compiled his season ending total of 2017 points. Anglers competing on the Elite Redfish Series would use their best 3 finishes including the Championship to compile their points total in the frogg toggs Chase for the Championship.

Port O'connor pro Will Granberry is on his first season on the Elite Redfish Series was looking head long at a chance to win The National Championship. "I just fish simple, if I do what I do and get what I want, you can bet the next day or days I will be doing the same thing." Will told a very loud crowd at the day 2 weigh in taking place at the Painted Marlin at JIm's Pier in South Padre Island. While it would not be a National Championship Title in his first season on the Elite Solo Tour and his first time ever fishing in head to head competitions without teammates or draw partners, Will equipped himself well by finishing off his rookie season in fine style placing 2nd at the National Championship and winning the Hytorc of Texas Rookie of the Year Award.
