Adventures of Todd Kline

I was just up at Clear Lake for the final FLW Toyota Series event of 2020 in the West. My go-to baits were an IMA lipless plug, a Coolbaits underspin, and a Revenge Baits swim jig. All were paired with my Okuma gear. (FLW)

Adventures

The bugs were thick on the lake during the tournament. I finished in fifth place with a 15-fish, 53-pound 5-ounce bag, as well as placed second in the Angler of The Year race. (TODD KLINE)

These signs are the new normal in the COVID-19 world. (TODD KLINE)

e’re not ashamed to admit it: Todd Kline has the kind of life we wish we could experience. Kline’s W a former professional surfer, a successful co-angler on the FLW Tour and a Southern California bass guide, plus he gets to travel the world as a commentator for the World Surf League’s telecasts. Todd has agreed to give us a peek on what he’s up to each month.

Morning prep work before heading out on the lake. (FLW)

On the first day, I had an average start with just under 15 pounds, which had me in 27th place. But on day two I brought in the largest bag at more than 20 pounds. That allowed me to climb 20 spots and crack the top 10. (FLW)

On the final day just before sunrise I assessed my collection of rods. (FLW)

Clear Lake, like most of Northern California, was smoky due to so many wildfires ... (TODD KLINE)

... But it still managed to produce a gorgeous sunset. (TODD KLINE)

This was my glamping experience – I had a blast staying in my friend’s Airstream right on the lake. (TODD KLINE)

This 8-pounder fell to a glide bait, and this is the face you make when you catch a big in practice and there are other boats in the area. (TODD KLINE)

Back home, my guided fishing trips picked up this past month. Here’s one of my clients who had a great day on the water. (TODD KLINE)
