Announced a revised & final schedule today on our LIVE. Made a few changes/additions to better serve you the anglers!

1,) We heard how you wanted a national Susquehanna event in 2025 so we decided to add a 7th event - the “Susky 5 Slama-Jama” out of Bloomsburg, PA on 9/8-9/9. MUCH MORE exciting news to come about this event and we hope it really helps those in the northeast be able to get 2 events in before Broodstock (Franklin, PA 9/12-9/13) so they can potentially win the 10k AOY package from (best 2 events plus Broodstock’s score = the 3 events that comprise the AOY and TMOY totals). 🏆

2.) Made a date change for the Paris Reelfest (3/23) to help more anglers attending the Classic be able to make that event without having to stay an entire week longer in the area which is hard for most to do. It also deconflicts with the .a.s.s.nationkayakseries event on Caddo the 29th giving anglers the opportunity to fish both, or all three if they are qualified and fishing the Bassmaster Kayak Series Championship the Wed & Thurs on Fork. Many of those anglers who have already experienced the Classic festivities may prefer to head to Paris after the Championship given it is only an hour from Fork, so the proximity works out well if those anglers want Fri & Sat to prefish for KAS. The event will be a one day shootout on Sunday with (non mandatory) check-in, registration and Bass U Brunch (dinner & seminar) on Saturday evening at a TBD location in Paris TX, likely starting at 6pm and ending at 8pm where we’ll eat, drink and even stream the Classic Weigh in. At the KAS awards on Sunday (23rd) in the theater we will again stream the Classic crowning moment on the big screen so we can enjoy that as well. For the large majority this will work out better so we wanted to make the change now to give anglers all the opportunities that TX will bring in that 2-week stretch. 👊🏼

3.) Finally, the Smallie Showdown name has been changed to The Mississippi BronzeQuest presented by Nothing else has changed. 👌

Barring some weather (hurricane or natural disaster) this should be the final tweaks to the 2025 KAS Schedule! 🙌🏻

Our Canadian brother had an accident recently while out fishing. Glad he’s still with us. We hope to get him back on our show to talk about it. I know upon hearing about it, it has made me more aware of my surroundings while on the water. A lot of lessons to be learned here!

This is my last smallmouth of 2024 sadly. On the morning of Oct.12th, I set out on a river float down a new stretch in upstate New York. The morning was one I will never forget, and I was the only one out there for miles. What I didn’t know was, while wading the river, everything was about to change with a life-altering accident being struck by a 40’ ash tree that was 18” in diameter at the top of my head. What transpired left me face down unconscious, submerged underneath this ash tree in 18” of water. I awoke pinned to the river as it rushed passed me. Finally getting myself out from under the tree, I stumbled to the shore. Unable to process what had just transpired. I sat on the bank unable to lift my left arm, my head pouring out blood, nor able to turn my neck. I knew I had to get back down the river 30 minutes in my kayak to the launch. Mentally talking to myself that I could make it back without losing conciseness due to blood loss from my head laceration. I made it back to the launch to find out I was the only one there. So I took all my energy and bought my car and trailer and loaded everything as fast as I could with my right arm. Finally, in the driver’s seat heading back to Canada, I called my wife and asked her to meet me at the Canadian border and that I needed medical attention. I made it back to the border and awaited emergency personnel and transportation. This accident led to a broken left scapula, several compression fractures in my thoracic spine and a large laceration to my head. Not to mention the severe concussion I was left to battle. I’ve spent the past weeks putting myself back together. It’s been a long road of recovery and starting rehabilitation for my injuries.

I am forever grateful to still be here 🙏

This is a brief account of my river fishing accident. In the coming weeks, I will join The River Run Podcast to share the complete events of that day.
