It was 6:30 a.m. on a late-August morning. The sun rose over Lake Minnewashta in Minnesota’s southwest metro. It was already 80 degrees. 
Ron Strauss, president of the  Minnesota Kayak Fishing Association, stood at the non-motorized boat landing at Minnewashta Regional Park with a few friends, all ready to tackle the heat for an upcoming tournament. 
Strauss, along with three other anglers, were scouting the lake prior to an upcoming bass-fishing tournament for kayakers. Kayak fishing has become a popular hobby and sport for people across the country and especially in Minnesota.
