Levi Kohl is a proud blue-collar kid from Edinburg, IL. He’s the son of a former pipefitter and current farmer named Eric, whom he credits with teaching him how to fish, and while their hometown is five hours north of Kentucky Lake, Levi’s time in recent years as a student at nearby Murray State, has sharpened his angling prowess tremendously to make him one of the best young sticks on the massive 160,000 acre Tennessee River impoundment.
He and team partner Grant Meisenhelter’s recent victory in the prestigious USA Bassin Classic not only won the pair a high-dollar fiberglass boat, but also a $5,000 REV Rewards™ cash bonus from Vexus, and a heritage-rich Vexus belt buckle for Levi’s trophy case.
At age 21, Kohl is a proven threat in both local and nationally sanctioned events, logging a very impressive (14) Top 10s thus far, and he says if he had to choose three lures for the rest of his life, he’s picking a Strike King 6XD crankbait, a Rapala DT 16 crankbait, and a forward-facing sonar minnow.
When it comes to favorite qualities of his Vexus VX20, he struggles to choose just three, but begins with his love of the super smooth ride he gets from the keel-forward engineering and convex hull, plus the unique AirWave® suspension seats, and the fact the massive front deck allows he and Meisenhelter to fish shoulder-to-shoulder.
He’ll also be quick to tell you the patented Intensive Care™ Livewell system is second-to-none, and so is the room in the dry storage boxes.
Ask him what he plans to do with the $5,000 bonus from Vexus, and that answer comes quick too. “That’s going straight to my savings account.”
Much the response you’d expect from a common sense driven blue-collar kid from America’s heartland.
