We’ve got the cos and we’ve got the pros! Andrew Upshaw scored a huge win in the pro ranks at the FLW Costa Series Championship at Lake Cumberland in Kentucky. Upshaw is no stranger to the winner’s podium. He won a six-figure paycheck earlier this year at an FLW Tour event at Cherokee Lake in Tennessee. Upshaw is a smallmouth specialist and he gives some great tips for catching big smallies. On the co-angler side of the ledger, Chad Allison won the championship in that category at Cumberland. We predict huge things for Chad when he transitions to fishing from the front of the boat.
