$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!

    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.
