Growing up I always did pretty decent in school and once it got going I didn’t hate school but I always hated this week of the year when it was time to end the two months of summer fun to head back to class. We would have to move from […]
It has been a good trip to New York state. When I left home a couple weeks ago for my back to back Bassmaster Elite Series events on the St. Lawrence River and Cayuga Lake I knew I needed to have a couple of good tournaments to turn my season […]
Going into last week’s Bassmaster Elite Series event on the St. Lawrence River, I was feeling quite a bit of pressure to have a good tournament. I was sitting in 46th place in the 75 angler field through six tournaments of the 10-event season. We get points based on where […]
The 31st-annual Kenora Bass International took place last week on Lake of the Woods and some impressive catches of bass, mostly smallmouths, were hauled across the stage at the Whitecap Pavilion.

It was a busy weekend for anglers across Sunset Country who enjoy tournament competition with three events taking place. The Kenora Walleye Open kept the walleye anglers busy while bass anglers had choices with both the Lake Despair “Castin’ For Cash” and Shoal Lake Big Bass Classic taking place. Over […]
After nearly nine months, Sunset Country bass anglers finally get to compete in a tournament this coming weekend, following the opening of the catch and retain season for bass on July 1. While we can fish for bass from ice out, through June, they must be immediately released in most […]
While I wish I was fishing instead of driving home from Alabama on the weekend, it was nice to wake up in Kenora on Monday morning this week to our pleasant summer weather. The sixth stop of the Bassmaster Elite Series took place this past weekend at Lake Guntersville, under […]
After getting to spend a few weeks at home I’m back on the road this week to resume the Bassmaster Elite Series season at Lake Guntersville, Alabama. A section of the Tennessee River, Lake Guntersville is one of the most historic bass tournament lakes in the United States, hosting dozens […]
