Kyle Hall may be only 25 years old, but he’s making his mark on the Major League Fishing Toyota Series.
The young pro from Granbury landed his second win in 2022 at the Toyota Series Championship on Alabama’s Lake Guntersville with a three- day total of 59 pounds, 1 ounce. With contingencies, Hall pocketed $237,500 for the win.
Hall caught a 5-pounder with less
than 10 minutes remaining in the
event to seal the victory. He used
a Shane’s Baits umbrella rig with
6th Sense Divine Swimbaits and a
1/4-ounce Damiki Vault blade bait,
and focused on finding fish with his LiveScope electronics.
“I was in about 20 feet of water, really targeting suspended bass,” he said. “I was really just roaming around and when I would get around the bait, I would get around the fish. I would go hours without seeing any and then I would just run into a whole school of them.”
This summer, Hall won on Lake Champlain on the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit that was worth $137,500. In 2020, he won Major League Fishing’s FLW Rookie-of-the-Year.
Hall caught the eye of Texas anglers when he brought in a 16.1-pound largemouth on O.H. Ivie Reservoir in February. He also opened Tri-Lakes Tackle Town in 2021, a full- service bait-and-tackle shop in Granbury.
Todd Castledine, of Nacogdoches, finished eight with 41 pounds.
