David Hanson has a nice set up out in Narcoossee, Florida. That set up is a spot known as the Grandma Gap. Dave pitched the idea to his grandma and she was cool with letting him build a pool gap in her backyard on her private pond, so that’s what he did with the help of some friends.

That pond is home to some of biggest bass I ever caught growing up and now it’s home to one of the sickest pool gaps around Central Florida. This photo was taken on just another random day of shooting.

Usually all the shots are taken closer to the rails, but when John Ruark pulled up and grabbed a board, I noticed his nice stack of water shredding devices taking over the entire back half of his car.

As he was packing up he set his stuff down and I decided that that was the time I had to get a photo of it and this is how it turned out.
