The KBF Southeast Regional Championship is over. I really got “hooked” on the fisheries around Florence, Alabama 😂 I didn’t have the finish I wanted, but learned a little for events there next year. Congrats to @midwestfishergal on slaying some giants and taking home the “W”. #visitflorenceal @visitflorenceal #kbf2019 #kbftrail2019 #kbftrail #kayakbassfishing #largemouthbass #hobiefishing #aftco #abugarcia #berkleyfishing #spiderwire #lowrance #rammounts #rcioptics #gerbergear #seadek #yeti #egofishinggear #calcoastfishing #bioennopower #deezeetruckaccessories (at Natchez Trace Parkway Colbert Ferry Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2K0hIYgyr0/?igshid=1758kyurjcfp

Last Saturday was the 3rd stop for the KBF Southeast Trail Series at Lake Chickamauga, one of the best bass fishing lakes in the country right now. I ended up finishing 11th place out of 120+ anglers, one spot out of the money! It was a super tight race, and 3/4 of an inch would have moved me up several places. To be honest, I felt quite fortunate to end up where I did. I caught lots of average sized fish, but only had one big bite all day. Believe it or not I’m pretty sure I never actually had the fish hooked. After getting the fish to the boat and grabbing her by the mouth, I look down and see the bend of the hook sitting it the corner of the fishes mouth where the jaw meets. The hook point never penetrated the skin. Pretty sure that’s the first time I’ve seen that. Anyways without that fish I would have been about 20-30 places down so I can’t really complain. Huge congrats to Kristine Fischer @midwestfishergal for the win and kicking everyone’s ass for the 2nd time in the last month. Can’t wait for the next event at Kentucky Lake next month, it should be a fun one! #hook1outfitters #irodfishing #kbftrail2019 #whataluckyfish (at Chickamauga Lake Soddy Daisy TN) https://www.instagram.com/p/By1gAdUgF7q/?igshid=bs85mdvmqvb0

Spent a few days camping out and prefishing a few rivers in central Georgia with @adamriserfishing and @joshjsharp . Unfortunately the tournament got canceled due to weather. I experienced a lot of firsts on this trip. It was my first time visiting this part of the country, I caught my first shoal bass, and it was the first time FLIPPING MY KAYAK! I made a bad turn going into a rapid called “yellow jacket” on the Flint River. I went through a little sideways and over I went. I lost about $600 worth of fishing tackle, but was lucky enough to recover my rods, GoPro, and not damage my fish finder. Definitely an experience I’ll never forget. Besides that mishap, I had an awesome time visiting an extremely beautiful part of the country! #hook1outfitters #irodfishing #kickfishing #shoalbass #kbftrail2019 (at Flint river outdoor center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXm1MaAX0i/?igshid=f4lhj67xlau
