Have been kayak fishing for the last 5 years, but just joined KBF and will be fishing my first challenge in April! Your videos have been invaluable. Thanks for highlighting this info!

I'm fishing my first tournament this weekend on Beaver Lake. I have to admit that I'm pretty excited.

Thank you, Gene; it's great to see you back.

Glad your still at it, I watched your vids 5 or 6 years ago, but got out of fishing, I wore trhough the shirts I got from you too. I am starting back up so glad to watch some more fishing being reviewing a buch of how tos

Thanks for the great information as always! I will definitely save this video for when I'm ready to start doing tournaments.

Glad you’re back Gene. Already looking forward to the Friday night lives!

Great video! I'm glad you are back!

Thanks Gene, I needed this. I'm in a paddle only kayak, although I heard you can do this from the bank. Invaluable to me. Much appreciated.

Hey thanks for your videos. Been watching a lot over the winter and went out with my son yesterday and caught an absolute monster at our first spot. Been wanting to do a tourney this year too, so great timing

Appreciate you putting this video together! I dipped my toes in with the catch 22 last year. I'll be doing it again this year as it's a great cause. I might have to see what knuklhed is all about. It's snowing here up in Gramps/my neck of the woods, so I've got some time.

Your videos are great. So much useful info. This is a great video 👍👍👍

Thank you for making this video, I just started fishing a few months ago and man I love it . I'm saving up for a fishing Kayak and start some serious fishing :)

Kayak tourneys aren’t my cup of tea, but I will always admire what can be done with so little storage. You explained it and I understand why you and a lot of guys like it.

Welcome back to KZread been a minute

I've been watching you over two years so I think you deserve something from me my friend. I been fishing the A.B.T. trounments. Thanks for great videos. 👍

Thx Gene 😁👍

Thank you Gene!!! I was just trying to find your older video on how to enter tournaments. Thanks for all you do, you are a legend!

THERE HE IS, BEEN TO LONG MY FRIEND!!!!

Been going through some flukemaster withdrawals. Glad you’ve been doing your thing but I’ve been missing the videos.

Been having so much fun fishing you’ve forgotten about us Gene! 😅

@@Flukemaster signed up last night as a KBF amBASSador. :) Is there a map of eligible waters per each state? Or is it up to my discretion to stay within legal waters.

The rules made it seem like there was a map somewhere that I could access. I’m in AR and any navigable stream that I can put a kayak in without trespassing is public waters. Just want to make sure I know the rules well before getting started.

Great video, We need a part 2 and maybe more. Been fishing the monthly tournaments for a while, this my first year doing a club lake series here in Missouri. Could use some advice on fishing tournaments when on large lakes a good distance from home. ( Im in south east MO so all of mine are 3 plus hours away ) How do you find areas to launch besides ramps? ( know what areas its legal to access )What about say camping over night or sleeping arrangements? ( For instance... I cant really take days off to go scout out spots and pre-fish lakes, stopped at a lake we have a tournament on in April on the way to visit my son, Checked on a spot id like to fish and ran into one REALLY SQUIRLY DUDE where i was going to spend the night before the tournament to camp. ( not a campground by the way ) was glad i had my friend in the glovebox..... Any info for the next level of tournament fishing i think would be a great help to many anglers getting further into it. Thank You

I saw my name for the Knuklehead series. You’ve got some hammers on your team but Go Team Chad!!!

Awesome Info!!! don't own a kayak....:O(.....but im willing to try the Knuklehed tournament from the bank! should be fun!

You should!

I use to bass fish from my bass boat, yeah I’m a horrible bass boat owner, haven’t fished from it in two years. I bought a kayak and have started somewhat fishing again. I appreciate the info on kayak tournaments. Something I am considering doing. I met you quite a few years ago in Columbia when they had then the Forrest Wood Cup. So I can say that if you say it, it’s legit. Thanks again for the info.

I fished the 2018 KBF National Championship from a 10’ sit-in car-topped paddle kayak with zero electronics (except for iPhone and lighted safety flag) and one rod and reel. It can be done! 😄 KISS

Thanks Gene. I’m not doing tourneys this year but I’m going to try it fish the lakes that the tourneys are on this year to get used to the lakes since I only have time to fish three lakes near home. Hopefully next year I’ll have confidence to enter for real.

Long time no see

Im having touble finding tournaments in or around Kentucky.

As always great video Gene. So just to make sure I understand you correctly, if I enter multiple tournaments on the same month, I could write multiple identifiers on the same tag?

@Flukemaster

Жыл бұрын

That is correct. Just make sure the rules of each tournament is kept. Some other organizations may require something different. But It's nice that the same fish can be entered into multiple tournaments.

What are the water boundaries for knuklhed? Are ponds and stand alone lakes ok?

I intended to try the KBF Challenge Series to get started but here in Florida there is ZERO chance us guys in the NW Panhandle can compete with the central/southern part of the state. That really hampers getting started..

Question, the state challenge kbf tournaments am i just competing against people in my state to be into money or am i competing against everyone from every state?

This might be a dumb question but are inflatables kayaks allowed in tournament it not a cheap one it’s an Aquaglide Blackfoot Angler 130

Thanks for the video Gene. Does Fishing Choas keep track of every fish catch and just take the top 5 or does it automatically cull your catches?

Yes it does. You can find them under your tournament dashboard.

do you know if there are vermont tournaments on that site?

So is the KBF challenge series lake specific or just any lake we want to fish is GA?

im from mexico can i participate in this tournaments?

Gene, I have been fishing salt water tourneys. How do I get into bass fishing? I’d love to compete in tourneys where I do not have to go to all these locations and mingle at the captains meetings and just fish!

Team Creek is Creek Fishing Adventures.

so i have a 8ft sun dolphin, square. would that count as a kayak? lol

All Ketch measuring boards are good. If it's a Hawg Trough then no.

Do most kayak tourneys require a stern light and or flag?

Good video I just wish there were kayak tournaments for people who are computer illiterate. My wife helps me but it seems like you have to spend more time on a screen than fishing.

Just bought the tag and ketch board. The tag website was being weird, but I hope it still kicks you the affiliate fee.
