$10,000 Kayak Tournament WIN (Susquehanna River Hobie BOS)
The Hobie BOS headed to the Susquehanna River in PA for a regular season event, my brother and I dialed in the smallmouth to take the top 2 spots! 192 kayaks fished for two days, and at least for Ewing and I, there wasn't a dull moment. This is the footage from day one, the secret sight fishing bait/technique landed two of my 5 fish that made up a 95.5" limit. The day 2 video is where it really shined and I will go more in-depth with the explanation. Stay tuned!
*IMPORTANT*
Fishing Online is going to have some of these baits in stock very soon, I bought all the good colors before the tournament but more are on the way. Please wait and get the baits from them instead of somewhere else, that is the favor I ask in return for me spilling the beans on this very sneaky and extremely deadly bait/technique. Day 2 video will have more description and explanation about "The Bug" .Thank you!

So sick dude
In case you didn’t know, someone won $10k in a bass tournament (2022 Hobie BOS on Susquehanna River) on this lure. Maybe the color, season or location is not right, but it does work. Appreciate you honesty though.
Dude thats a epic day you cant get any better.. well i guess you can if you won on day 2 lol new sub here
When its your time it's your time congratulations 💪🎣
That's funny they be biting like that(top water) way up where I'm at on the small juniata not as many beast like that thou great video!
Hell of a first cast
Gotta love a good top water bite !!
Nice. Interesting you guys can fish out of the kayak.
That was epic..new subscriber..

Nice, Day to dream about

Really really impressive river. The number of 17 to 19" smallmouth in that place is just ridiculous.
Great tourney in my home waters!!! Curious top water bait?? Plopper 60 or 75? Color...PS??

I fish rivers almost solely for open water season (Delaware River PA) and nearly all of my spinning lures are produced on a fly tying vise for a reason lol. Even my lake trout gear for NY is the same weight as you were throwing the bug.

@@nolanminor6761 Lol yeah we had an OUTSTANDING smallie/trout/salmon trip in April all casting plastic shallow. Been awhile since I been on a great trip
A few fish were caught in this video
So Hobie BOS allows you to fish outside of the kayak and basically bank fish. Interesting. Never knew and don't think I've heard of any other trails allowing that.

Gonna be honest it's my dads old net and I have no idea, but I will try and get back with you on that. The ideal net would be that style but with a bigger hoop and better mesh for treble hooks.

Promar landing net. I use the larger 18.5" x 20.5" hoop with a 30" handle while Nolan is using my old 13.5" x 18.5" hoop net with the 18" handle.

75. Honestly would have rather used a choppo 75 or 90, but I couldn't get my hands on any because for one the supply chain is messed up but also we had 190+ anglers on a fishery where they were CHEWING that bait so no tackle shops had them. A clear colored bait seemed to be extremely important to get them to commit.

That plopper spun my line up so bad but I didn't have a choice. I had to keep cutting my bait off and letting my line out to untwist in the current. Choppo seems to roll a lot less.

@@nolanminor6761 See I was wondering about that. Your brother said he was using a 110. I have messed with both the plopper and the choppo and it seems the choppo does better for me. I got all my smallmouth bites on Dale Hallow near me on a black choppo.

All you do is add a Spro ball bearing swivel to the nose of the Choppo or the Ploppers. Lose the flimsy split ring and go with a speed clip and str8 braid. NO MORE TWISTING. NOW GET AFTER IT!!!!!
do you not need to be in the kayak for a legal catch?
You didn’t even catch the bass out of the kayak….
