On this episode of The American South Fishing Podcast, we’re joined by Levi and Luke from the Bourbon County High School Fishing Team.

These guys break down what tournament fishing is really like at the high school level — from early mornings at the ramp to strategy, pressure, teamwork, and how they prepare for big events. We talk practice routines, breaking down new water, handling tough conditions, and what it takes to compete consistently.

If you’ve ever wondered what goes into student angler tournament fishing or you’re a young angler looking to compete, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

In this episode, we dive deep into what it really costs to compete at the upper levels of tournament fishing. From entry fees and travel to equipment, sponsorship pressure, and the hidden expenses nobody talks about — we break it all down.

We also address the “Dual Threat” fishing situation that’s been circulating and give our honest take on what anglers need to know.

And of course, we talk fishing strategy — breaking down what we believe are the perfect patterns right now and how to dial them in when the pressure is on.

If you’ve ever thought about fishing professionally, moving up circuits, or just want a behind-the-scenes look at the tournament world, this episode is for you.
