In this episode, John Ferreira and Ken Wood recap the KBF Trail Events on Lake Murray, then discuss the aftermath of the Kayak Fishing League's collapse, including multiple accusations made by KFL players and a faux-investigative journalist in an attempt to pin the blame solely on Ken Wood.
Did Ken, the "Kingpin," single-handedly bring about the demise of the KFL, screwing over hundreds of anglers and small businesses that invested thousands of dollars in the league?

Let's see how interesting things can get with our old pal Ken Wood, the Godfather of Northeast Kayak Bass Fishing. We've always had interesting talks when traveling for tournaments, let's see if we can't bring it to the podcast or whatever this thing is!
A super-humble dude hailing from New Hampshire, Adam and I kick back and talk about his journey in kayak fishing as well as the trials and tribulations of taking part in running the Northeast's largest kayak fishing trail—Elite Kayak Fishing!
Coming hot off of breaking Massachusetts Kayak Bassin's club record bag with a win and charging to the top of the club's AOY leaderboard, we do what we do best: Chat it up!
I had a blast talking to one of the most sincere anglers I've met. We discuss about some just-passed tournaments and our love for the sport of kayak fishing!
This was a cool one. Got to talk to one of my best buds about his recent showing in Alabama. Then that lead to some questions and rambling about fishing.
I got to sit down and talk with Joe D'Addeo about his beginnings of tournament fishing and how he became the 2018 Kayak Bass Fishing Rookie of the Year and Top Ten ranking, as well as becoming the 2020 Massachusetts Kayak Bassin' Angler of the Year.
