As I sit at my desk, listening to the rain and wondering what to write about, I can’t help being frustrated at not being out on the water right now. Due to an unusually high amount of rain, bad weather, life in general and a lot of training requirements this year, I have had to…

I had the chance to team up with FLW Fishing’s national youth director, Scott Ellison, on a wild Ozarks adventure! We brought our Coosa HD’s to tackle some challenging water, and catch some hard fighting smallmouth bass. I also had a chance to talk to Ryan Walker, of the Ozarks Smallmouth Alliance, to get his…

This was one of the most unique episodes I’ve ever filmed, as I found myself at the Southeastern Youth Kayak Fishing Championship, where I got the chance to share my passion for wild waters with the next generation. I join the kids on the river and at the awards ceremony, where I am able to share…

On this episode of Hooked on Wild Waters, I find myself on one of the most species rich river systems in the US – The Chattahoochee River! Aside from catching so many species, I learn more about the spillway type dams that are on this river, and so many across the country. My good friend, and…

On the latest episode of Hooked on Wild Waters, I catch the rare Bartrams bass on the wild and scenic Chattooga River! I talk to locals and the experts about this fish to learn more about it. The river itself is as beautiful as anywhere I’d ever paddled, but be sure you have the right equipment…

In Hooked on Wild Waters Podcast episode 3, we get into some tips and tactics with Lance Coley, 4-time winner on the tournament trail and 2-time River Basser of the Year (RBOY).

It has been 3 great Hooked on Wild Waters seasons, so we decided to put together this sort of highlight reel of all the best action! I’ve been to so many cool places and fished out of so many different models of Jackson Kayaks – the original Coosa, Coosa HD, Cuda HD, Big Tuna, Cuda LT, and Kilroy – and done so with some…

In Hooked on Wild Waters Podcast episode 2, I talk with fellow Jackson Kayak team members Ken Morris, our River Bassin’ Correspondent, and Justin Hausner, the current River Bassin’ Tournament Trail Director. We talk a little non-sense about what sports would be in the “Kayak Fishing Olympics” if there was such a thing. We also discuss the 2018 tournaments,…

Recently Chris Slaughter, Adam Cunningham and I had a day of smallmouth fishing that none of us will ever forget, in a good way. This was a day in November, just before a massive amount of rain was about to raise the creek well over 15’ from its banks. We were lucky enough to be off…
