\u201cThe New River is world-class and a true bucket-list destination for any smallmouth fanatic. The Kayak Adventure Series gives anglers a reason to make the trip from wherever they live, showcasing the region\u2019s vast fishing resources in an eco-friendly, sustainable format built around catch-measure-photo-release,\u201d said Drew Gregory, founder & President of the Kayak Adventure Series. \u201cFans can follow along in real time via our live leaderboard with photos. With GoPro as our headline sponsor, we cap the event inside historic theaters, and we\u2019re excited to pack the Pulaski Theatre on Saturday night to showcase the anglers\u2019 best catches and most memorable moments \u2013 and, of course, crown our New River Revival Champion.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The KAS New River Revival is much more than a fishing tournament and is designed to appeal to both experienced anglers, as well as recreational-level fisherman. The event will showcase Pulaski County\u2019s premier paddling and fishing destination, offering participants a unique adventure that combines river and lake kayaking in one weekend. Expected to draw paddlers and anglers from up and down the eastern seaboard, participants will have the opportunity to explore Pulaski County and enjoy a series of events and programs leading up to the two-day competition, including a welcome dinner, opening ceremonies, educational brunch, closing party and awards show, where a kayak will be raffled off to raise money for charity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to welcome the Kayak Adventure Series to Pulaski County,\u201d said Tim Miller, Director of Sports and Entertainment in Pulaski County. \u201cWith the New River and Claytor Lake as the backdrop, this event is a perfect opportunity to showcase our incredible waterways, support outdoor recreation, bring visitors to our community, and build on our growing sports and entertainment portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the New River and Claytor Lake are sure to impress out-of-state anglers, the real storyline may be whether a local kayak angler can defend home waters and catch the longest 5 bass to keep the title \u2013 and the lion\u2019s share of the cash purse \u2013 right here in Pulaski County. With national competitors traveling in from across the country, local knowledge could be the ultimate advantage in this 2-day event verses a field stacked with elite talent.<\/p>\n
