This week on Outdoor Journal Radio, Ang and Pete are joined by the first Canadian to ever win a Bassmaster Classic, Jeff Gustafson!

Before getting to that interview, however, a bit of housekeeping was in order. Topics discussed included: Strange names; Canada being on top; information overload; “watching our podcast”; treadmills; how fish smell; whether fish can smell oil-based scents; offensive human odours; avoiding Gordy Bowman’s hands; whether Pike slime deters other fish; lack of echo; how to spot bass beds; light influencing spawning behaviour; avoiding spawning fish; strategies for bass opener; and Gussy’s big win!

With those matters out of the way, we head to Pete Bowman's interview with Gussy, fresh off his massive win at the 2023 Bassmaster Classic. Topics discussed included: How a Canadian got so good on the Tennessee River; stressful Sundays; why he went for smallmouth; abandoning old gameplans; dealing with a slot size during a tournament; boat-shy smallmouth; Moping; the Smeltantor; disciplined jigging; the necessity of Forward Facing Sonar; meeting Gord Pyzer through piano lessons; how sponsorships are changing; how much it costs to be an Elite Series Pro; Gussy’s favourite species; how Canadian bass knowledge transfers down south; how the Canadian bass circuit stacks up; and much more!
