The Realtree Fishing KBF TRAIL Series Powered by Dakota Lithium is off to a big start in 2023. And by big, we mean big bass – the KBF Kick Off events in Polk County, FL produced legendary big bass bites on the Dakota Lithium Big Bass leaderboard!
The second stop of the Kayak Bass Fishing Trail season moves northward with the spawn, as we continue to another trophy bass destination: Lake Murray, S.C!
