The 2016 Hobie Fishing World Championship is Coming to Louisiana May 11, 2016 by Paul Lebowitz
The kayak-traditional flats targets are on the Catch Photo Release (CPR) menu: brawny redfish, speckled trout, and flounder, comprising the famous inshore slam. The angler with the highest cumulative length over the three-day period will be crowned Hobie Fishing World Champion. It was inevitable that Hobie’s fishing spectacular, where every one of the 50-some qualified anglers from around the globe is on an identically and lavishly tricked out Mirage® Pro Angler 14, would make its way to the skinny waters of the Gulf Coast. This is the sixth annual Hobie Worlds. A redfish has graced the top of the trophy since the very first one. It was time! The location couldn’t be better. Leeville is hallowed water. Ride the Bull, by far the largest kayak fishing tournament in the world, takes place ten minutes down the road at Grand Isle. It’s home to the Bayou Coast Kayak Fishing Club, one of the most venerable and active in the sport. “There isn’t much there but fishing. There’s only Boudreaux’s Bait Shop and fishing,” says Hobie Fishing’s Keeton Eoff.
