Didn’t realize that was you at the launch, wish I could’ve introduced myself and chatted some with you! I launched there day two. 5:10 perfectly summed up my weekend man. I feel your pain 110%! I had a shot to be around 95” day one but broke off and lost some great fish. Day 2 I lose an 18” at the yak first cast and a 20” at the yak 4 minutes later, set the course for the whole day 🤦🏼♂️ River smallies are my favorite but they sure can break your heart. Glad you were able to recover and finish in the money! Hanging in there mentally on days like that is an accomplishment on its own. Lol
Oh dang! Yeah man I wish ya did! Good crew that launched there. I figured everyone was in the same boat as me. Ewing launched with us and he mentioned the same thing. How’d you end up?
@@BEtheFish yes sir! Very good people. I ended up finishing 30th. Solid but disappointing considering how sloppy I fished. Lots of opportunities with big fish that weekend but it happens sometimes. The one that really stung the most was one around 21” breaking me off on a spinnerbait hitting it at the yak in the final hour of day one. That stung all evening. 😂 That river is something special though! Still had an awesome weekend up there. I can’t wait to go back. Those Susky smallies are so much fun!
@@BEtheFish haha it was! Like you said though, sure there is plenty other anglers who had similar situations. That was my last national event for this year. Doing local events to finish out the season. I’ll gonna try to make the Hobie BOS events more of my focus when I do national events next year. Hope to see you out there! If you’re ever coming through WV give me a shout and we’ll try to hit the water! 👊🏼
i had a tournament 2 years ago in spring lake and i had limit in 30 min all 12s biggest one being 12.75 and 2 hours left on i get a 19.75 and with that boost i jump from 27th to 2nd place only and lost by .25 only if i could have cull the last 12,75 i would have been first . always have to be positive . i am new to the tournament seen still doing the local clubs but soon to get my feet wet on the KBF
Hey man! I recently broke one of my baitcasting rods and I’m looking for a new one. Ideally something that’s good for a variety of different lures (jigs, crank baits, topwater). Any good suggestions? I have my eye on the Dobyns Fr 703c but it’s impossible to find in Canada. Looking for something medium/medium heavy with a fast action. Love the videos, keep up the great work!
@@michaelkoziol4738 love it so far! If you’re gonna get em anytime soon they’re on Omnia Fishing and we have a code for 20% off “SERIOUS20” that’s good until Sep 5!
The identifier is OBVIOUS in every picture, every fish is clearly alive, not the same fish, and not sure what you mean about thumb placement. This is the Hobie Bass Open Series, biggest trail in the country I can promise you it’s not lax 😂😂
@@BEtheFish not taking a stab at you. You’re an excellent fisherman. Just saying a thumb past the anal fin is -1” in KBF and there were a couple pics where your code was obstructed by the black strap. I’d be sweating bullets over that stuff man 😂 missed out on several top 10 finishes because of it
@@taxnlips I see what you mean by the pictures now. Never have heard of the anal fin thing but probably something I should look into but I refuse to fish KBF 😅😅 Hobie is most legit and I don’t wanna mess that up! I think as long as the proof is there you’re not cheating, fish alive, can see ID, etc then you’re good
What would you have done if you were missing this many fish?
Watch the recent episode of Chasing Hardware: ua-cam.com/video/pIgJPGDxox4/v-deo.html
some really great camera angles of fish jumping. Nice to see someone due all without a trolling motor.
I mean, I have a rig with one😅😅 but I love taking it away and doing this!

Hey dude! Sorry to hear that. That always sucks. What’s your price range? Feel free to DM me over social too if that’s easier.
Hey bro what spinnerbait and trailer are you using? Good video!
War Eagle and a Strike King Rage Swimmer! Both are available at Omnia Fishing and we have a 10% code “SERIOUS10”!

Your tourney rules must be lax. I’d be getting slammed for thumb placement and obstruction of ID for a lot of these fish 🤔
