Was such a great event. Was disappointed I couldn’t remain in first but very happy with third. Thanks for the opportunity Chad!

Chad, I like the way you and the team edited this feature #Day1, #Day2 footage and the leader board rankings after Day 1. Congrats again to all the winners and my hats off to #JayWallen for taking the #TopSpot.

Hate to see the Open series go away... really enjoyed this event and looking forward to Lake Erie.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

ozzie839 they will really just become trail events and we can focus on one series. We just lost way too much money on them and attendance wasn’t high enough. They say if you build it they will come, well, they didn’t and we have to rethink the way forward. The KBF Trail Series does very well and this will get even better as prizes and payouts increase. We will have a better series next year overall with a few less events so that we can focus on making each one better. We have some great things in store for next year.

Chad Hoover looking forward to it...this has been my rookie year and I've had a blast...thank you for creating this awesome thing we all love...you and the crew don't get enough credit

[@ChadHooverFishing]

[@bluegrassbodybuildingfitne406]

Chad Hoover Saweeeettt!!!

[@BassSnatcher21]

Chad Hoover When does that episode air?

[@blackhawku]

I didnt know you from natchez ms. Im from Newton MS between Jackson and meridian MS.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Yessir. That’s where I was born. But we lived in Ferriday, Louisiana at the time. I spent more time in Jonesville though.

[@lamontgray6015]

How many places get paid in this contests or is it just first place

[@deehux5122]

chad i have a question, what kind of weight do you have on your anchor wizard thanks Dee

[@ChadHooverFishing]

I use a 1 or 3# ball primarily but I’ve used as heavy as a 6# ball without any issues. Flukemaster used one about 10 pounds and I don’t think he has had any issues.

[@davidrogers220]

So why is the open going away ?

[@ChadHooverFishing]

We have too many tournaments, there wasn’t enough attendance to cover the cost and we have lost too much money on them. We are just going to focus on making the TRAIL Series better.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

And the OPENs aren’t going away, just the OPENs as a series.

[@marknunley3317]

What kind of a kayak do you have I'm a big guy and I need one like that

[@BassSnatcher21]

Mark Nunley I believe Chad fishes out of a Bonafide SS127.

[@LouisianaThibodeaux]
