The Oh Boy! Oberto Redfish series was in Hopedale, LA August 15-17, and with 16.49 pounds on Day Three, cup anglers Mark Sepe and Andrew Bostick walked away with the championship belts for the second time this season. Sepe and Bostick have now won half of the regular season events on the Redfish Cup circuit and bested Kevin Broussard and "Cajun" Phil Broussard by mere ounces at Punta Gorda and again in Hopedale.
