The Oklahoma Kayak Anglers 2021 Season Opener at Lake Eufaula is here and it will be a giant of a tournament! Anglers will compete for Angler of the Year points, Newcomer of the Year points, as well as door prizes provided by OKA sponsors. Also, anglers who are B.A.S.S. Nation or KBF members will have their first chance to accrue B.A.S.S. AOY points or grab 2022 KBF National Championship invites. Regardless of the reason for competing, all anglers will have their work cutout for them on this 102,000 East Central Oklahoma fishery.   Last season the OKA set an attendance record at the 2020 Season Opener on Lake Murray with 76 anglers competing on a clear windy day.

"100 anglers for a live event would be a milestone for the OKA and its anglers." says OKA President Avery Metcalf.
