Coley and Perkins win X2Power Team Event

Kayak Adventure Series “Founder of Fun” Drew Gregory is no stranger to river fishing. In fact, he established and directed the River Bassin’ Tournament Trail, a series that developed some of the first wave of professional kayak tournament anglers. So it was perhaps appropriate that two veteran anglers from that trail won the inaugural team event of the Kayak Adventure Series.

Tim Perkins and Lance Coley named their team the OG River Champs, given their multiple Team of the Year (TMOY) titles on the old River Bassin trail. They lived up to it yet again, as they served up a winning recipe with a mixed bag of Shoal, Largemouth and Alabama Bass. Veterans of the River Bassin’ Series (Coley was its Angler of the Year in 2010 & 2015, and Perkins won AOY in 2013), the two competitors know how to catch bass from a river as well as anyone. They won the event with a combined 181.75 inches.

The Kayak Adventure Series Team event consisted of twenty teams (40 anglers), the majority of whom caught great limits in an event designed to focus on camaraderie in the sport.
