Casey Reed grew up in Bedford County, Virginia. He began kayak fishing in 2012 and it quickly became his passion. Soon after, the competitive side of kayak fishing grabbed his attention. After he discovered Kayak Bass Fishing (KBF), a national kayak fishing trail, Casey started fishing any event with a venue in the mid-Atlantic states. At the same time, Casey started his own traveling tournament trail, the Virginia Kayak Bass Challenge, aiming to expand the availability of tournament competition to new and experienced kayak anglers. Now, Casey travels around fishing any tournaments he can, near and far. Traveling from Texas to Florida even New York to chase the dream. There is no limit to where he will go. To date, he has won four 'Kayak Bass Fishing' Trail events, including the KBF North East Regional Champion on Lake Erie, hosted at FishUSA headquarters in Erie, PA, and the KBF SuperTRAIL event on Smith Mountain Lake. Reed boasts six other top 5 finishes.
