There were some YAKGEAR big bass worth good money at the Hobie BOS Power- Pole Tournament of Champions!
Day 1- Dusty Yakker landed an old 23.5″ battle tested LM in the final 10 minutes of the day! A huge lesson in perseverance and worth a $500 YakGear Big Bass check! He landed this bass on a jerkbait.
Day 2 – Rolando Nandin landed the biggest bass of the entire event by using big baits and grinding for the right bites! His 24″ largemouth in the last hour of the day was worth a YakGear Big Bass Check and helped him secure a Top 15 paid placement and check. He landed this bass on a glidebait.
Day 3 – Brady Storrs adjusted to conditions changing and made the right bite count at the perfect time. Not only was his 21.75″ LM bass worth a $500 YakGear Big Bass check, but it anchored his biggest limit of the weekend and secured a 1st place finish and Grand Champion Title! Brady credited a certain frog for this fish and his final day.
Chickamauga is an amazing fishery where there is a chance to catch a fish of a lifetime at the end of every cast! Join us back on the lake when we close the 2024 season on this Tennessee River Chain gem.
