FLW Tour pro and cancer survivor Jason Meninger won Kota Kiriyama's American Dream tournament last fall. The grand prize was a trip to Japan with Kota to experience the culture and fish Lake Biwa. Meninger said the trip was incredible and he came back not only a better fisherman, but a better person.
He filmed several portions of the trip and recently uploaded highlights in a two-part video log. The first part appears below. Part 2 can be viewed here.
Additionally, the 2011 American Dream tournament will take place Dec. 3 at Lake Wheeler in Alabama. Details can be found at KotaAmericanDream.com.
