Hello everyone, just wanted to say hello. I had heard of this site before but never really took the time to check it out, man am I glad I did. It has what looks to be like piles of information and a forum that appears to be active.
I sold my boat about 10 or so years ago when I discovered kayak fishing, I've never looked back. Anyway, kayak fishing has exploded over the last decade and is growing at a rapid rate. I just fished the KBF National Championship on Kentucky Lake where Dwayne Taff took home 100 grand for fist place. For me that was an epic trip where i got to meet up with some friends and I made so many new ones. I hope to qualify for that tournament again in the future.
Last year I became a competitive kayak angler. I had never fished competitively and it is causing me to become a better angler. My thirst for knowledge continues to grow and all I seem to think about is bass fishing. I had a few top ten finishes last year and placed 4th in one of them. I ended up landing a pro staff spot with Bayou Bug Jigs for the 2018 season and I couldn't be happier. To see the sport I love grow like this has been amazing, I cant wait to see where it goes.
I live about an hour west of Richmond, Virginia with my small family. It's out in the country, but I kind of like that. I am a Former Marine, Former Police Officer, and currently work as a Firefighter/EMT with Chesterfield County, VA.
I hope to pick up some valuable information here and hopefully become a contributing member. Thanks for having me.
Scott
