2017 Hobie Kayak Fishing
Team member Nate Gloria, and his passion for chasing Nebraska's finest
largemouth bass stretch deep into childhood memories. An angler who grew up fishing
from the banks of southeastern Nebraska lakes, Nate can remember the early days
of watering the front lawn before supper. Only to return later that night armed
with a flashlight to capture a bucket full of night crawlers for the next day's
bass fishing trip!
Nate took the kayak tournament scene by storm in
his first year. Nate finished in 2nd place overall in the Tail of Two Cities
Series to punch his ticket to the 2016 Yak4It Tournament of Champions @ Lake
Fork, TX. Nate finished 27th amongst 119 of the most prestigious kayak anglers
in the country. Through his
exploration and immense hours of experience fishing from a kayak, Nate finds
great importance in understanding the behavior of prey or predatory fish in
relation to the largemouth bass. With
having caught impressive Northern Pike, mass amounts of Crappie / Bluegill, and
of course trophy-sized Largemouth Bass from Lake Wanahoo, Nate has been often
been referred to as the "Wanahoo Wizard".
Nate's heart burning
desire to chase trophy-sized largemouth bass is a sure way to know that you
will learn all you need to know to get you closer to the next BIG bite!
