Crazy day on Lake Wateree. We all questioned what she would give up in April since we always fish it mud summer. Well….What if I told you 68 inches didn’t win cash!! WOW. This was the first Queen City Kayak Bass Fishing/ Plastic Navy Kayak Anglers joint event. It was flawless. We had 86 anglers come play in South Carolina. What a great crowd. Kids from HS fished, and their Coach/Teacher joined as well! We raised the payouts today and #qc1000 turned into #qc1300. In the main event today we also had the QC vs PNKA 10v10 showdown. I think Cam and I realized this showdown may have caused more harm than good in the fishing community and we both agree this would be the final round. QCKBF did get the Win by 148 inches. Ryan Hulsey anchored QC and won the $200 side pot. For the people who watch but have never joined us, we all talk trash, we all fish hard, we all want to win, but in the end we are all friends and shake hands, and hug. We don’t need a 10v10 ruining that.

The day started off with the worst fog we had ever seen. 30ft vis maybe. Without gps on your fish finder, almost impossible to launch. The weather stayed mostly cloudy, slight drizzle on and off, and then the sun poked out later. Fish were caught on a variety of baits today. Some bed fisherman did well, some avoided beds at all cost, some parts of the lake had no beds. Very interesting lay of the lake today. When it was all said and done we met at Gadgets of Lugoff for the award ceremony. Cameron Tetterton pulled it out!! Trash talking home lake boy walks up with the biggest smile weighing in 73.75inches!!! Huge victory for the Admiral, taking home the US Tree Climbers #1300. Ryan Hulsey snatched 2nd place with 73in, and side pot money, and Commish side pot money for a total of $995. Not bad!! Fat Larrytakes home 3rd place with 72 inches worth $480!

#QC1000 2019 event 2 presented by Southern Bell “Selling the South” TM Charlotte Realtors was amazing. 71 anglers came out to fish a pre spawn Lake Hickory. Pre fishing reports were mixed, along with constantly changing weather patterns, who knew what to expect. The lake was almost full pool, which was a welcome site for fisherman. The weather didnt drop as predicted, and the lake cleared up big time. What did that mean for the fishing? Well…..22 of 71 anglers weighed in a limit, with two anglers over 70 inches, and a massive would be 22.5 inch big bass, penalized for 22inches. Also a 21.75, and multiple 21s weighed in. I would say the lake fished well for most. 
We launched at 730am, along side two LARGE boat events, one from Oxford, one from Wittenburg. Weigh in was 4pm, only 10 min from the lake so anglers had a few extra minutes to fish. When it was all said and done, Mark Wilkins weighed in a 71.25 bag and took home the $1000 first place! Congrats! Brad Cox continued his hot streak with ANOTHER second place finish, taking home over $500. Mike Little shows up with 3rd place, banking $352.

If you cashed, please post your pictures

All standings, daily, yearly, and team have been posted. (Fb is having trouble showing files for some)

Season 5 has started. We were at the usual Lake Norman today. Usually its 65 and sunny, well, complete opposite today. Cold, wet, nasty. We met at Gander Outdoors at 5am. Let me just take a second to thank them. They weren’t due open until 9am. At 515am, managers and employees showed up! They opened the store for QCKBF!!! Not only that, they printed up qc flyers with coupons for us all. Then, they gave us the lodge room!!! An indoor facility for weigh in. It literally changes everything. I cant begin to thank them enough. We will be back there for the charity event in March, and Norman round 2 in Sept. 
We had 68 anglers come kick start the season today, with most joining the AOY, and 11 teams. Great start. Most knew the lake was a little off for Norman. Cold, mud, fishing wasn’t great. Registration ends at 7am and all anglers scatter. 10 open ramps! Rains all morning, winds, cold, few texts here and there telling me the bite was TOUGH. I think we all know, somesones gotta win! 
430pm rolls around, lodge room full of red faces, and tired anglers. We got to put our new technology to use, and weigh in took only 20min! 
When all pics were judged, Tim always cashin Sabella took home first place with 68.5inches, and also the Yak Bass’n small bass award with a 7.5in, worth a total of $1400.
The 2019 co commish, Brad Cox stole the show with a solid 2nd place worth $585. Jared Kimak snuck into 3rd place and won almost $400.

Rounding out the cash spots, Fat Larry Mark Wilkins, Mike Little, Joey Randall and Jacob Earnhardt takes home a free entry. Austin Vang won the Emerald School of Excellence big bass with a 19.75 worth $225.
