a waaaaaaays down lol

What's the rule in this type of tournament? Do you have to use a paddle... or can you pedal like a Hobie Mirage?  I'd like to use my Lithium battery and 45 lb thrust, but they'd likely find out

Kayak anglers have been fishing as well or better than boat guys for a while, and they need to go all in on their kayak series and put some camera boats on these guys.  I'm rooting for Drew Gregory, he's a great guy and absolute hammer.  He also fishes from the same brand of kayak as me.

KBF and the BASS Kayak series events allow trolling motors. Hobie BOS series allows them for practice but not on tournament days.

I'm rooting for my friend and very much a hammer. Rolando Nandin.  He took fourth in the BASS Kayak event on Fork. Then the week after he won the Hobie BOS event on Toledo bend. There is a lot of seriously great fisherman in that field.

 Where do I sign up?? Sounds like a blast... I’m sure all it costs is money?

They're allowed in tournaments up here too, just can't use pedal/trolling power for trolling.

Most tournament trails allow motors now. When I first started fishing out of a kayak they were frowned upon by a lot of people, but I guess the growing popularity of them has forced them to allow them. I don’t know what I would do without my xi3 these days.
