There should be nothing special about these brothers, even their recognition as the 2007 Land O Lakes Wal-Mart FLW Redfish Series Eastern Division Team of the Year – except the fact that both are teenagers, besting some of the most seasoned tournament anglers across the State of Florida.

Kyle, and older brother Cody, have been fishing tournaments since an early age. As a team, the brothers completed an impressive 2007 season in the FLW Redfish Series Eastern Division, including a second place finish in the Clearwater event, and a fifth place fishing in the Titusville event.

In addition to Redfish, the brothers have been fishing the Professional Tarpon Tournament Series from Boca Grande Pass since 2003, scoring a victory in 2006 as part of the Miller High Life Team.

Cody and Kyle Chivas were crowned the 2008 Yamaha Team of the Year of the Miller High Life Professional Tarpon Tournament Series.

Cody won the SKA’s Junior Angler of the Year in 1999, and both run guide trips in and around the waters of Tampa/St. Petersburg along Florida’s Gulf Coast.
