Event Info

The Hobie Bass Open Series Anchored by Power-Pole Total Boat Control is a national kayak fishing tournament series that provides a platform for anglers to compete in an elite 2-day event in one of several locations across the USA targeting bass. Anglers fish for large cash payouts, sponsored prizes, Hobie Fishing Worlds spots and angler of the year points which all culminate at the Tournament of Champions at the end of the season where 50 anglers battle it out for large cash payouts! Events are open to any angler aged 16 years or older and all brands of kayaks are welcome. Aside from the competition, each Hobie Bass Open Series event is fun and the comradery between anglers is part of what makes our community great. We encourage you to come out and fish with us and we hope to see YOU on top of the winners podium this year.

Our Season finale lands on the Historic Coosa River Chain out of Gadsden Alabama.  Widely known for the abundance of quality Spotted Bass and the potential for Stud Largemouth as well.  Anglers will be challenged with fall feeding patterns and fluctuating water conditions. This combination of current within these impoundments will test our anglers, but crown a deserving champion.  This will be the final Open event to earn points for the Angler of the Year race. The top 3 non-qualified anglers will punch their ticket to the Tournament of Champions  in Knoxville TN Nov 14-15.

Report

Hobie BOS – Coosa River Chain Anchored by Power-Pole Total Boat Control
The final open event of the 2020 season has now ended in the typical river fishing tournament fashion; 2″ leaderboard shifts in the top 9. You are hard pressed to find a more challenging tournament style of fishing than catch, photo, release and add the kayak. And now with the last of the qualified Hobie BOS Open competitors, we now only have the Shootout the day before the Tournament of Champions.
The Bassin Magazine Big Bass award goes to Eric Siddiqi who landed a tank 22.00″ bass on the day one of the tournament and was his first submitted catch. He takes home $348 in cash. Fantastic catch on the Coosa Eric!
The first angler to receive our invitation is Coley McGowan who was a favorite coming into this event. He takes 1st place with a two day total of 181.00″. In a great show of consistency he landed his day two limit with a total of 93.50″. He takes home $5,100 in cash and entry into the Tournament of Champions. Congratulations Coley! We are excited to see you in November in Tennessee.
In 2nd place, is Joshua Sharp who came all the way up from 15th place with the largest limit of the tournament measuring 98.50″. Incredibly, his average fish over day two was 19.70″! He earns his ticket to the Tournament of Champions and valuable Angler of the Year points.
The last to receive an invitation in 3rd place is Lance Coley. Only .5″ separated Coley and Sharp! Lance’s two day limit totaled 179.00″. He ended day 1 and day 2 in 4th place. That consistency landed him cash and the final invitation of the open season for the Tournament of Champions.
We are thankful for all our anglers who fished in the 2020 season with us! With your support we have paid out cash back directly to the field. Check out the payouts to our top 9 anglers in this tournament:
Top 9:
1st Coley McGowan – $5,100
2nd Joshua Sharp – $2,750
3rd Lance Coley – $1,600
4th Drew Gregory – $1,350
5th Jordan Marshall – $1,250
6th Nick Matthews- $1,150
