2024 Bassmaster Kayak Series National Championship
What tournament did you compete in? I recently had the incredible opportunity to participate in the 2024 Bassmaster Kayak Series National Championship. Where was the tournament located?

There HAS to be a big bass hiding here somewhere! But, is there? Time is of a premium on tournament day. You need five fish for a limit and you haven’t even put one on the board yet.
