Chad Davison

Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot 136

I live in Columbia, MO. I am a tournament bass angler, and I have been competing in bass boat tournaments for over 20 years. Starting in 2021, I decided to make a change and fish kayak tournaments. This is one of the best decisions I ever made. There is something special the connection you feel to the water when fishing in a kayak.
