A record-breaking 109 anglers turned out for this one, hoping to take home the coveted Elite Kayak Fishing trophy!
Given Cayuga’s reputation to churn out monster bass this time of year, all 109 anglers were undoubtedly anticipating an absolute slugfest. And for many, that’s exactly what it was!
Compared to events in previous years—2017, with Kayak Bass Fishing , and Elite Kayak Fishing in 2021, in particular—this year was a much tougher event, despite the top 15 anglers cracking 90 inches. Colder weather this season meant very little grass/weed growth and colder water temps, which had the bass hunkering down a little deeper than normal.
