LARGEST kayak tournament | KBF NC Kentucky Lake 2022

Today, I take you out to the largest kayak tournament in 2022 aka KBF NC at Kentucky Lake. The fishing was brutal but you're in for surprise. You will witness my mistakes during this kayak tournament. You will experience what it's like to attend the KBF NC (National Championship) of 2022. If you would like to get started, head to fishing chaos and register for a challenge series monthly tournament hosted by KBF. You basically fish for the month and CPR and fish against other kbf anglers in your state. It's affordable to do this challenge series tournaments out of your kayak and shouldn't break the bank. And if you feel like you want to step up your game, you can join the trail or pro series tournaments via KBF. Good luck guys and enjoy the video. If you live in Kentucky or have low visibility lakes with rock in shallow waters, check out some of the baits below I used to make the KBF top 100.
The next KBF NC will be in 2024 hopefully at Lake Guntersville and not Kentucky Lake.
Baits used:
KVD 1.5 - amzn.to/3N9QZl3
Luckycraft ghost minnow squarebill - amzn.to/3gMwX4b
Dobyns cranking rod - colt 703cb
SLX DC 7.2 Reel - amzn.to/3SGM9Nw

[@skypigwoolf]

That hook in the finger looks gnarly, glad you showed how to get it out! Quality content! Keep up the good work!

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Thanks my dude. Howve you been

[@FishinwithGRAMPS]

First ever KBFNC and had a BLAST! Was awesome seeing all the top dawgs fighting it out. Craziest catch was a toss up, caught a 16in smallie on the new Z-man Hellraizer in practice, then on day 1 caught a drum on a rattletrap. Best was an 18.75 with a jackhammer on day 3.

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Thats awesome dude. 18.75 is a good fish

[@FishinwithGRAMPS]

@@DoubleDigitAngler I needed it after the big ZERO on day 1... too much time making a long run to a place I didn't hit in practice

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

@@FishinwithGRAMPS yeah main lake kentucky is off. Greg and I found fish in 3-4 different spots and some of them were unproductive during tournament day

[@tedyahng7550]

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

😂🤣🤣 it surprised me as well

[@tedyahng7550]

[@tonyjones9057]

Dude, that popped line hand catch was crazy!

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Lol it was!

[@garriettchavis6679]

My favorite fish catch at was during prefish, I got snagged on a limb with my crank and as soon as it popped off a fish bit it.

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

nice!!! did that happen at the nc? btw great meeting you bud. hmu if you ever in socal!

[@AlexOnTheWater]

LETSG GO Dom, happy you found that crank bite, sucks you caught those hooks. Great Season bud like I said love your content and the grind you put in this season. Hope the 23 season beats your 22 season and ill catch you down in Alabama brother.

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Thanks Alex. Congrats on top 100 as well. Ill be on the lookout for some of your vids

[@naturalkayakfishing]

Man, when got that first fish cranking, I was waiting for you to wipe out a net, now I'm thinking do you even use one!? 💪🎣

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

I always forget it in the car 🤣

[@SethVenableFishing]

Great video!! Way to keep at it!

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Thank you

[@Ktownfinds]

[@tonyjones9057]

The hooks in the finger sucks, been there done that before. Thank God for Chad Hoover vids that showed me how to do it myself.

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Glad you got it out

[@cheethoe]

Damn dude, looked brutal for sure. That was a huge drop in water temps, and I still can't believe you fished for an hour with a hook still in your hand, wtf.

[@cheethoe]

btw, love the shades, makes you look Zaldaingerous

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Thanks dude. Wanted to support my favorite channel Miliken fishing

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Lol i only fished 5-10 minutes w a hook in my finger

[@cheethoe]

@@DoubleDigitAngler oh yeah, he wears those too

[@cheethoe]

@@DoubleDigitAngler I would have fished 0 minutes with a hook in my finger

[@naturalkayakfishing]

Another great vid!

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

[@albertflores4479]

Great job out there bro 💪

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Thanks brotha 👊

[@kentuckykornbread6527]

Is that first rod a dobyns Colt? I love mine with my Lews tournament pro

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Yes

[@CatchEmKing]

Wish I could have made it out.. wanted to so bad... 2023 it's on lol

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Its all good. Go to guntersville 2024 in spring

[@patrickt1087]

I haven't done the yank out using braid. I have pushed the hook through to cut off the barb and then just slide the hook out. Not fun.

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Yeah it isn’t ha

[@theparamedicyakker5539]

I have to ask, is that considered a legal catch? I would have thought you would have had to have a rod and reel. I didn't finish watching. Did you tell the tournament director what happened for clarification?

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Technically I used a rod and reel with that line. It snapped off the rod and reel. It’s called the snap line off technique and catch

[@theparamedicyakker5539]

@@DoubleDigitAngler had fun watching the vid. Well done. We all know the struggle. I personally would have gone to the tournament director and explained what happened, even it hurt my place standing. I'm not saying at all that's what you should have done. I'm only saying what I would have done. Only because it confuses me. It was pretty funny and one of those one time things you could only hope to catch on a vid. Best of luck next season and tight lines to you!

[@frankobryant]

Good video

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Thanks bud

[@Dirty_Farmer_1977]

Sorry about your hand..thanks for sharing

[@Dirty_Farmer_1977]

Omg you took that shit like a man...grrrrr

[@scott04171973]

Nasty hook set…. I did one last where I got hook in my finger and tried yanking it out and yanked another barb into the same finger.. SUCKED

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Danggg glad we both made it out ok
