I assume you had him picked for second, where he finished? That would be 1449 points:

"Base score You earn the points equivalent to the points your pro picks earn for that tournament toward the 2008 Angler of the Year standings. For instance, the pro winner of any tournament gets 200 points, the second-place finisher 199, third-place 198, etc., on down to 1 point for last place. If you had the winner in your picks – anywhere in your picks, not just the top slot – you get 200 points. If you had second place, you get 199. Fifth place, 196. Twenty-third place, 178, etc. You add up all 10 scores, based on where your picks finished, to get your base score. The highest possible base score is 1,955 points (200+199+198 … +191)."

Since he finished second, base score for Fukae would be 199 points.

"Bonus points

Lake Toho, Lewis Smith Lake and Ft. Loudoun-Tellico lakes (Qualifying events #1, #2 and #5)
Top-10 bonus: 500 points for each of your picks that finishes in the top 10
Exacta bonus: 2,000 points for picking the winner to finish 1st, 750 points for each pick who finishes in the same place you ranked them in 2nd- through 10th-place"

So, you got:
199 base score +
500 Top-10 bonus +
750 exacta bonus =
1449

Sound right?
