How Ryan Matylewicz Won Before the Tournament Started | Bassmaster Kayak Series!

Many anglers believe tournaments are won on the water — but Bassmaster Kayak Series Champion Ryan Matylewicz says the real work often happens long before the first cast.

On this episode of From Paddles to Props, Ryan joins the show to break down the exact process he uses to study electronic maps and pre-tournament data to locate winning areas before ever launching the kayak.

Ryan recently won the Bassmaster Kayak Series event on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, and in this conversation we dive into the strategy behind that success.

We cover:

• How Ryan studies electronic maps before tournaments
• The exact things he looks for when scanning lakes digitally
• How to eliminate unproductive water before practice
• How anglers can use map study to prepare for tournaments
• Why many kayak tournaments are won before you even hit the water

If you're serious about kayak bass fishing tournaments, this episode is packed with valuable strategy and insight from one of the sport’s top competitors.
