My first Carnivorous Artificial Bait Boat Angling World Championship is in the books. What an experience! I’ve received a lot of questions about it, so first let me tell you a little about the format. Each country that competes puts 2 pairs in the boats for the competition, myself and Nick Schertz were...
Good winter times...
Julia and I decided to hop a plane to South Florida to attend the Miami Boat show last weekend. It was something we had talked about for a few weeks, the flights looked good, and we had been overdue in visiting some of our family that lived down south. Not to mention, its one of the biggest...
Great things about this time of year: t-shirts, swimming while fishing, 5 minute ride from my house to the boat ramp, and plentiful walleye.
I have been so busy the last week or so between time on the water, charters, and visits with out of town friends that I have been slacking on the blog and I apologize. The fishing...
Sorry it took me a few days to get this up. Part of it was that I just needed to unwind and spend some time with the family for the Easter holiday. Part of it was that I didn't know what to say and I just needed to let my emotions stabilize bit. Long story short, I ended...
What a week we had on the Mississippi in Prairie Du Chein, Wisconsin at the World Walleye Championships. It came down to a slug fest of 4 boats fishing side by side at the top of the Pool #10 dam. We were all pitching one-eye spoons and 1/4 or 3/8 oz Berkley Gumball jigs tipped with twister tails and...
This past weekend was proof that when fisherman, generous companies, and a great charity come together, good things happen. The 2017 Walleye Wisdom Seminar for St. Jude Children's Hospital was a tremendous success and we are proud to say that they raised $12,300 for the charity. A crowd of 170 avid walleye anglers showed up to watch professional anglers...

Last week was one of my favorite tournaments of the year, the MWC on Detroit River. It is an awesome tournament because you have the opportunity to fish both the river and lake, and catch monsters jigging with light tackle on the river. Thats something you just can't do anywhere.
We spent the majority of the week fishing the lake,...
The 2013 MWC World Walleye Championship on Bay de Noc has came and gone, and let me just say it was an honor to compete in my 3rd straight championship against 45 of the best walleye teams on the planet. To make the Championship, you have to fish a minimum of 3 regular season events, and they take the...
This was my 8th season heading up to Togiak River Fishing Adventures to guide for part of the summer. The fishing there was phenomenal as always: a 36 inch rainbow, sight fishing countless silver salmon on flies, the grand slam of all 5 species of salmon, nymphing for dollies, etc. But that is not the reason I go to...
