Bass Boot Camp 2024 Ep. 1: Okeechobee

Emil Wagner kicks things off in solid fashion at the legendary Lake Okeechobee in Clewiston, Florida. In this first episode of Bass Boot Camp, you get a glimpse of practice days filled with some mega bass that led Emil to a 12th place finish. Sit back and enjoy this one where Emil serves up a one-two punch of FFS fish sniping, some insane glide bait bites, and an unfortunate Hinkle break-off. Despite the heartbreak of losing a prized bait, Emil's 12th place finish awarded him an additional $1,000 bonus thanks to the AFTCO x Best On Tour Buck$ Contingency Program.

Next stop for Episode 2: Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
