When Jeff Gustafson won the Bassmaster Classic on the Tennessee River this past March it was a journey that began 30 years prior to his epic triumph.
“I fished my first bass tournament when I was 10 years old,” said Gustafson, who grew up on Canada’s north end of Lake of the Woods. “My dad took me. He didn’t bass fish, but he knew I liked it. He just wanted to fish for walleyes. He saw that I was interested in bass fishing, and we started fishing some of the tournaments around here.”

For consistent early-season walleye success, expect the unexpected

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing /

When my phone vibrated in my pocket, I had a feeling it was my buddy and that he was going to tell me he’d found walleyes and the bite was on. It was my buddy, yes, but he was singing the blues, having fished all day with only a few small perch and a couple of skinny bass to show for his efforts. I told him I would be there soon, so he should gas up the boat and get some more bait. “We’ll find the walleyes,” I told him.
