Bassmaster Opens Pro, Brad Leuthner, is a well-known hammer in the Midwest. Brad is famous for big wins around MN, and more specifically, Lake Minnetonka. His specialty is targeting suspended bass, a rare talent in MN until forward facing sonar came to the forefront, and has brought new styles and techniques to that realm of fishing that have now become staples in MN. One of those is “The Chicken” technique, which Brad invented. Brad has previously spent his career fishing with guys like Ted Capra, Dean Capra, John Figi, and Seth Feider (to name a few); and has fished all the major trails in MN. A few years ago, Brad made the jump to the Bassmaster Opens, coming very close to Elite birth, and is now slotted for all 9 Open events in 2023.
