2021 Event 2 on Lake Norman was something else. Denver Tackle Co. brought us back, and mother nature tried to kick us out. It was awesome being up in Mooresville NC. Visit Mooresville is awesome to work with and what a great city. It was cold, windy, and rainy all day today. It never got out of the 30s, and the rain only let up for an hour or two all day. Anglers mental toughness was tested, along with their rain gear. Most of the gear failed today. Numerous anglers reported getting butt naked at the parking lot and changing into warm clothes, myself included. The 2021 season weather needs to change, but numbers are again on the rise. We had another triple digit event today with 108 angers battling the nasty weather. The bite seemed to be feast or famine, with a few great bags coming in, but also 50 skunks being reported. 27 limits hit the board, which was more than many anticipated. We had 18 teams competing in the NeoGenix Team Division, and 9 anglers entered the Elite Side Pot. Once anglers found a dry spot to upload, this is what we had! Chris Goodwin continues his dominance and takes home $1560 for his 74.5 inches.His partner was right behind him, (maybe pun intended) in 2nd place with 71 inches worth $890. They also took home the team win this month.3rd place brings back Mr. Always Cashin Tim Sabella with 70.75inches worth $725.4th place sees Mr. PC Hawj jump back into the game with 69.75 in and takes home $565.Rounding out the top 5, and winning the Emerald School of Excellence Big Bass, Teng Vue, with 68in anchored by a 20.25 worth a total of $760!!6th place and taking home the Elite Win, Fat Larry.

Good morning QCKBF. The 2020 regular season is over, and we are now in the playoffs. I know I went live, and spreadsheets have been posted, but I wanted to make a formal recap post.2020 has been a crazy year. Many clubs across the nation have struggled through the pandemic, and had to cancel events, and watch their participation drop dramatically. From grassroots to high-level clubs. We here at Queen City Kayak Bass Fishing were prepared, and moved things around, and made it all work. TourneyX.com and Dwayne Walley were a huge part of this, and so were you! The willingness to go virtual and wait for a shipped plaque, or meet up for the plaques, was huge. We never stopped, and let me tell you, we prevailed. We have had major growth again this season, the 6th season in a row! We ended our 2020, #QC1100, season 6 with over 300 DIFFERENT anglers participating in our events. We had 123 anglers who chose to pay the OPTIONAL membership! That’s a huge number. We had an average of 93 anglers a month at our LIVE events. 93!!! Let that sink in for a second. We fished 9 trail events, and a Charity event, not counting the side stuff we did: Two brackets, Sundays, a Nick run night event, and so on. At the end of the day, anglers were fishing for a spot in the top 20 for a chance to win the Tournament of Champions, along with an opportunity to win The Angler Magazine Charlotte NC Angler of the year award. This AOY award is a prestigious award in QCKBF, and we have never had a repeat winner, until this season. Only a total of 5 individuals can say they have held the AOY trophy: Vinny Ferreri, Saturday Mel, Tim Sabella, Matt Hawj, and Mr. Two Time Chris Goodwin. Chris wrapped up his 2nd AOY title this weekend on James. That is extremely impressive in a club this large, with this many top-notch anglers. Congrats man. That brings us to the TOC and Fish Off event. 7 anglers are going to fish the Fish-Off, for an opportunity for a wild card entry into the TOC. Vinny, Larry Crider, Dustin Hugg, Chase Helms, Jared Kimak, Kendall Easler, and Jeremy Hughes. The top two anglers will advance. Already locked into the
