I had a great time on my guide trip with Terry yesterday. His goal was to gain a bit of confidence with a few techniques that were new to him. I’d definitely say the day was a success! Flipping jigs around wood and lay downs was working the majority of the day, then we caught a few using buzzbaits in the willow grass. #kickfishing #hobiefishing #tnfishingguide (at Old Hickory Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBt1A6vg808/?igshid=kbqyglhsp5a6

Still in a bit of shock from having the best week ever. Last weekend was the TN State Championship on Lake Chickamauga, I won that tournament. I then drove 11 hours straight to Wisconsin to fish the KBF Trail Series Championship. I also won that tournament, but most importantly became the KBF National Anger of the Year! Between the two tournaments I won around $20,000. I really want to thank @steve_owens_0207 and @kayakbassfishing for being awesome tournament directors and providing the opportunity for us anglers to compete! I’ll give a better break down of everything once I get home. Right now I have a long drive and I’m just trying to soak it all in. #hook1outfitters #irodfishing #kayakbassfishing #kickfishing https://www.instagram.com/p/B32C2gzgV5v/?igshid=uxa0ubo2r081

Virginia did not disappoint! Had an unforgettable trip camping out with @dcampbell4405 and @justinlucasbass! We had to work hard to catch the better sized fish, because of drought conditions over the past 6 weeks, but at the end of the trip we started to figure things out. This is definitely the best time of the year to camp out and enjoy the outdoors. Can’t wait for the next trip. #hook1outfitters #irodfishing #yakimaracks #virginia #kickfishing https://www.instagram.com/p/B3dSTZrgIu4/?igshid=69nlqq4guhrr

Well the Hobie tournament didn’t go so great, ended up finishing 17th out of 82. Still had a great time out there though! Hopefully I can turn this little slump I’m in around at the state championship in a couple weeks out on Lake Chickamauga. Caught this one yesterday while doing a little prefishing! #hook1outfitters #irodfishing #kickfishing (at Chickamauga Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/B24kLVGgXP3/?igshid=1gi67jhx6th6s

On my way to Lake Guntersville to fish the Hobie Bass Open Series! The winner of this event qualifies for Hobie Worlds. The last one of these events I got disqualified for accidentally breaking a rule during the prefishing period. Hopefully I get a little luck on my side this time! #irodfishing #hook1outfitters #kickfishing #hobiebos2019 (at Guntersville Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2jfZmagWCh/?igshid=o03paylblbnp

This past weekend we wrapped up the KBF Southeast Regional Series. This championship tournament was open to 3 lakes: Wheeler, Wilson, and Pickwick, all which are located in northern Alabama. I had a really tough few days of prefishing, but found a little something while fishing submerged grass on Lake Pickwick the afternoon before the tournament. Both tournaments days I found a few different wolf packs of 30-40 fish. Fishing a chatterbait and big 10” worm, I would catch a few fish from a wolf pack, then they would wise up and I would have to travel about a 1/2 mile to the next spot. I had a rotation of 4 spots I was fishing throughout the day. By the end of the tournament I managed an 8th place finish out of 52 anglers. I ended up falling just a little short of winning the Angler of the Year title. Big congrats to Cody Milton for having an amazing season and capturing the AOY title, he is a great guy and it was well deserved. Also want to congratulate Kristine Fischer for winning her 3rd big tournament this year. What she has accomplished this year is nothing short of amazing! The sport of tournament kayak fishing is lucky to have her, she is a great role model, and a class act for sure. #hook1outfitters #kbftrailseries #tournamentfishing #kickfishing #irodfishing (at Florence, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2P5lY-gS0L/?igshid=t54hoc5eh99o

Happy Labor Day everyone! It was a beautiful day to be out on the river. Weather and water conditions were great, but for some reason the fish just weren’t that hungry. We still got a handful of fish, and had an awesome time hanging out with a great group of guys!

Great day out on the Harper River with Dave! The water was still a bit high and a little muddy, but they were biting. Most the fish came on crankbaits, but just about everything we threw got at least a couple. We even had a few bonus catfish and a big carp, Dave’s 3.5 lb smallmouthwas definitely the top catch of the day!
