Host Michael Bray takes this special episode straight from Blast Off to the Winners Circle following the BAM Kayak Series stop at Lake Don Pedro. This one breaks down exactly how the top anglers separated themselves on a fishery that can be as rewarding as it is challenging.
Joining the show are event Champion Isiah West and runner-up Shane Jones, who finished just 0.50 inches apart in a tight race that came down to execution, decision-making, and staying locked in mentally. Both anglers walk through their approach to the event, how they adjusted throughout the day, and what it took to put together big limits on Don Pedro.
This episode is a practical look at how high-level kayak anglers break down water, manage pressure, and capitalize on key bites when it matters most. If you’re fishing springtime reservoirs or looking to improve your tournament mindset, there’s a lot to take from this one.
Hosted by Michael Bray, Head Coach of the Simpson University Bass Fishing Team and Tournament Director for the BAM Trail, this episode continues the focus on real-world tactics, angler mindset, and what it takes to compete at a high level on the West Coast.
