DAY 1! Kayak Tournament Fishing | Hobie BOS Sam Rayburn 2024

I should have asked Noah if I could borrow the Ark for this tournament! It RAINED a lot!

In this video, I take you through day 1 of the kayak fishing tournament hosted by the Hobie BOS on Sam Rayburn Lake, my home lake!

I caught some REALLY nice fish in practice but didn't find the same quality fish on day 1.

Most of my fish were caught on a Jackhammer, wacky worm, or skipping a fluke.

The Hobie Bass Open Series (HBOS) is a national kayak fishing tournament series with multiple open events and one Tournament of Champions (TOC). Events take place at some of the country's most incredible bass fisheries, and anglers can compete for big payouts, bragging rights, and the opportunity to represent their country at Hobie Fishing Worlds.
