Born and raised in Weeping Water, Nebraska, Kayak Fishing pro Kristine Fischer wasn’t one to adhere to societal norms. Growing up in a home unimpeded by the restraints of a television, she had a natural inclination to the outdoors. This paved the way for her career, as she lives full-time on the road, competing in competitive kayak bass fishing tournaments. In 2019 alone, she boasted three national level wins, and hopes to continue to break down barriers in redefining the female angler stereotype.

"Doc" Bruce Samson has multiple major wins to his credit and is known as the Devil's Lake Master having won the PWT on the lake twice. He also won the MWC National Walleye Championship in 1986 and the RCL National Walleye Championship in 2002. Doc also has 8 major walleye tournament wins including the MWC twice, the PWT 4 times, the AIM once, and the FLW/RCL once.

Bruce "Doctor Sonar" Samson has a winning formula that has worked for him on both lakes and rivers; this formula includes using today's technology to his advantage on the water. GPS and Sonar technology are common tools in competitive walleye fishing, but few walleye pros have blended the technology with aerial photos, satellite elevation charts, and custom designed contour maps. Doc is one that does this and he does it well with his proven techniques on the tournament trail.

Doc possesses the knowledge and experience to improve others and was honored with the Professional Walleye Trail Norb Wallock Memorial Teaching Award, the "Top PWT Teaching Pro" in 2004.

When not competing, the Doc is active teaching electronics and fishing skills at every level. Whether you seek a little help or a lot, the Doc can help you via his website, educational DVDs, seminars, classes, Walleye Schools, magazine articles, or one-on-one with water training.

Johnnie Candle owns and operates one of Devils Lake’s premier guide services and comes highly recommended walleye anglers. His travels as a touring fishing professional have taught him a lot and his passion toward sharing what he has learned makes him a great choice for a fishing guide.

Johnnie calls Devils Lake, North Dakota his home body of water. To say Devils Lake has undergone some change would be an understatement as large as the lake itself.
In the past 25 years, Devils Lake has more than tripled in size. While this wreaked havoc on the citizens of the surrounding communities, it has been a blessing in disguise for the fishing.
With the high water came thousands of acres of new habitat. Flooded buildings, farm equipment, rock piles and road beds are now home to the walleye, pike, white bass, and perch that once roamed the featureless basin of the old Devils Lake.

He's also known for Walleye University, a series of seminars and DVDs.

Some of Johnnie accomplishments:
Top Touring Pro on the National Walleye Tour – 3 years
Inducted into North Dakota Fishing Hall of Fame – July 2018
2010 MWC World Walleye Champion
Top Touring Pro on the Masters Walleye Circuit – 8 years.
Top touring pro on the Professional Walleye Trail – 15 years.
