I Won $10,000 On a Floating BUG?? (Hobie BOS Susquehanna River) 

Congrats again Nolan! Appreciate the shout out, but that’s what it’s all about! Support one another!

Man that gizmo sold out within 3 hours of you posting the day 1 footage 🤣 This is the kind of tournament footage RU-vid has needed hopefully this blows the channel up

_SPORTSMANSHIP_ - It's more than mere courtesy, it includes _virtues._ Fairness is one of them.

Another great video!! It's amazing how quick that bug sold out after your first video. Was you using straight fluro with the bug?

Congrats! So crazy that a Hobie BOS event can be won wading lol, such a cool fishery

I feel like this guy should have been disqualified from this tournament. He has spent most of his time wade fishing. Not kayak fishing. I don’t know. Maybe it just me. But if you join a kayak tournament. Maybe you should be in your kayak.

Hell yeah buddy, congrats to you and Ewing! Looking forward to the mayhem of the cast and blast action on Caddo!

Good stuff. Enjoyed the videos. Continued success in the BOS series.

I didn't do well in the tourney, down around low 100's. But my 2 biggest fish came off a berkley driftwalker or jwalker... one of the two, i think a drift walker. I shoulda spent a lot more time on topwater than spending most of my day throwing a crawdad squarebill. The day before tourney a musky ate my only black choppo, which was the only topwater i could get bit consistently.....and he cut the line with his teeth. I went to bass pro, and they didnt have one, so I threw a whopper plopper and an academy version of a choppo.....and they just didnt want it, only little ones. I had a couple of those duo realis cicada baits.... different than the one you were throwing but I think it still woulda done well. I never even thought to throw it---just shows how smart you are in research and paying attention to your environment---hell of a job. I was close to where you were, i would run over to that bridge both days, and fish 2 little pools under it and after next rapids. i think you were further up.....day 2 I ran upstream far when I couldnt get a limit... all the way up to.....well as far as I could(without giving away anything). I put in at the ramp south of yours, but I was going over in the same little "side river" or section, I was just further south. I just couldnt get them to eat, I was around a bunch. you def showed in these videos your skill and knowledge in breaking the water down, putting all the variables together, etc. awesome job bro.....you worked your ass off and deserved this one, pay no attention to haters...it's hard to fish the way you are and not spooking the fish, etc. if someone else runs through your area, they scare all the fish, I mean any number of things can happen and you still made it work, put everything together from years of experience and made it work. You deserved this win bro, be proud and show that hardware off.

Congrats on the big win, dude! Came here from SmallieTalk Podcast. Great video!

Great video brother and congrats on the win!

Interestingly, every Choppo I've ever owned has spun during the retrieve. Bad luck I guess.

Awesome video man and congrats!! What net are you using??

Great instincts. Opening the bail, moving to the wacky, you had a great feel for what would work. Congratulations.

What a unique pattern man! I know I wouldn’t never tried. It. Thanks for sharing!

YOU JUST INVENTED FLY FISHING!

Definitely going to be trying this in my local creek known for big smallies and spotted bass!

And you won it mostly wading ! Sort of crazy . . . . Congrats

Just watched Serious Angler which was awesome thank you for all tips

Congrats on the phenomenal win and thank you for sharing your tips and techniques! Really appreciate the insight.

Congratulations on the win. Incredible video and fishing.

Congratulation man! What a great tournament! It was fun to fish and even more fun to follow along!

Great job putting it all together and being able to find those big fish! Thanks for the great information and breakdown!

Congratulations! What a day! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

This is some of the coolest tournament footage ever man. A match the hatch finesse win is so much more gratifying. Great job! I won a tourney sightfishing a 2inch fin-S -fish that i perched up with some sharpie markers. Any depressions in the sand had a cloud of perch fry and the shadow of a 4lb smallmouth under it. I cleaned up. After weigh in people laughed at what i had tied on, were you fishing for bluegills? they asked. I have had the same experiance when the fry gaurders start turning on there own. Using only the back 1 inch of it. The Biggest fish in the system will take advantage of these situation’s, just like a large trout will during a hatch.

Dude, congratulations that was an awesome win. Great video too. That had to be a blast too.

Congrats on the win and wow alot of quality smallies. What area of the susky was that?

And just like that they are sold out on tacklewarehouse 🤣

Once again, great job finding the fish and being patient. Congrats on your win

Great job on the win and video. Met you at eufala the day of the tourny.

Didn’t know you can fish out of the boat?

Way to go!!! Videos are getting super good Nolan!!!

Such a sick move opening the bail to avoid having the current drag the bait. Topwater finesse!

I work for tackledirect, had about 4 orders this morning for black Gizmos lol

👏💪🎣 will be ordering some bugs

They let you walk in the water like that too nice

Great video! I was wondering about that line twist...thanks for explaining. Do you think you could've caught some of those fish on a Ned, crank, or jackhammer?

How are you able to fish OFF/OUTSIDE of the kayak?? Seems like that should be a DQ for those fish. Every tournament I've fished you had to be IN the kayak?

Great job as always brother!

You could of won just in that shallow topwater area, when they stop hitting the top, throw a chatterbait, lipless or swimjig to pick up the stragglers lol

True sportsmanship

Great editing and great fishing.

Great vids and welcome to the Wet Boy Nation. Hope to hear your soon on Smallie Talk. Salute.

Congratulations!!

What line are you using ? And are you using a mono or floro leader ?

Congrats

🐐

What power and action are your top water rods?

You’re a hammer bro! I’ve been watching all your videos this weekend and learning a lot from you. You also from VA?
