John Myers, 57 of Atwater, CA after over 30 years of big boat tournament fishing has successfully made the transition to kayak tournament fishing. John provides some valuable insight and advice for anglers who are interested in giving kayak bass fishing a try.
WB: How long have you been fishing?
MYERS: I can’t believe that I’ve been doing this for over 50 years now and I still love it. I’m either fun fishing or tournament fishing every weekend.
WB: How long have you been tournament bass fishing?
MYERS: It’s now been 34 years that I’ve been tournament fishing either in boats; and, now my second season in the kayak.
WB: What are your biggest bass boat accomplishments?
MYERS: My most memorable win was the 1995 West Coat Big Bass Derby on the California Delta. I took home the big $50,000 check on that one. I also was able to secure the Angler of the Year (AOY) title for the Nor Cal Bass Pro Am circuit the same year – 1995 was a good year for me.
