Held a world record for a Cubera Snapper from a kayak, I believe it has been beat…lol. Took me 45 minutes to land in the Sea of Cortez.
How did you start in your sport? (What’s your origin story?)
I grew up fishing for crappie with my Dad & an Uncle, Chet Morgan, that guided on Lake of the Ozarks and Truman Lake in MO. I got into Saltwater Kayak Fishing with Jim Sammons about 12 years ago when I thought I was moving to San Diego, ff-5 years and I’m fishing with Jim and he asks if I had been fishing with Chad Hoover yet? My answer was “Why?” lol. Well, Chad had just moved to Nashville where I had been for a few years…Jim introduced us, I had a free weekend went up to fish Luther’s annual tournament and move the rest of Chad’s belongings to Nashville…just hit it off as friends with everyone I met, especially Chad & Joe. Thus started my education and involvement with the Kayak Bass Fishing Industry and my involvement with Hook1, KBF, Confluence & KBFTN.
