12-Hour Kayak Bass Fishing Tournament on Lake Norman – “The Grinder” – with Foothills Kayak Anglers

It’s a marathon, not a sprint. That’s all I can say about “The Grinder” event sponsored by Foothills Kayak Anglers. In this multi-lake event, anglers fish from 7am-7pm for their best 10-fish limit. I knew it was going to be tough, but I didn’t expect it to be THIS tough. I decided to fish Lake Norman’s Hager Creek Access Area and started very strong, but with no fish during the middle 8-hours of the day, I knew it would come down to the wire…
