Video throwback: Gadsden Area Anglers Evening Tournament
“Throwdowns” are slang for a quick kayak tournament. They are usually extremely laid back and low stakes. They are usually planned a week or two before the actual day of the event by a club member just looking to get together with some friends to fish. Someone will pop into a forum as say “Hey, anyone want to have a throwdown next week at Ditto Landing?”
It is a good way to fish along side someone on some new water. Rarely do more than 20 anglers fish these events but $100 or $200 can be won depending on the location and attendance.
Here’s video a look back to April 24th, 2015 when Corey Galloway took home some money after fishing a Throwdown with anglers in Gadsden.
Video throwback: Drone footage from NAKA’s first event of 2015
This raw drone footage shot from a flight by Jameson Redding gives you a look at what it was like when the North Alabama Kayak Anglers launched at their first event of the year in 2015 at Mud Creek BBQ.
The NAKA season starts in a little over a week from now on March 25th on Lake Guntersville. Who’s ready?
I remember making the drive from South Huntsville to Hollywood and passing dozens of kayak anglers loaded up, stopped at gas stations, and pulling off onto US Highway 72. As a tournament director, it was an exciting sight knowing that anglers were coming from so many different areas of Alabama to fish and that the event would be well attended. That day, we had 60 anglers at our event making it the largest kayak bass fishing tournament in Alabama to date. NAKA would break that record in 2016 with 89 anglers at their Open event.

Also, are we ever going to see any more common launch tournaments? (Hint, hint!)
