A historic first for Jeff Gustafson.
Gustafson, of Kenora, Ont., became the first Canadian to capture the US$1-million Bassmaster Classic on Sunday. Gustafson led wire-to-wire in pro bass fishing's premier event, weighing 12 fish for 42 pounds, seven ounces to finish ahead of American Bryan Schmitt .
"It was the sun, the pressure, and thankfully two of them bit my bait. The ride back, it was an hour boat ride … and it was horrible. I didn't feel like I was even going to be close or have a chance. Unbelievable, it's a crazy sport." Gustafson and the Johnstons were appearing in their fourth straight Classic. Gallant, an Elite Series rookie, competed in his first event.
Over his last two Tennessee River events, Gustafson has led for all seven consecutive days. And like he did in 2021, Gustafson not only targeted the same species — smallmouth bass — but used pretty much the same moping technique to catch him. And although the bite slowed down significantly Sunday, Gustafson said he wasn't overly tempted to change his approach.This marked the third straight event that at least one Canadian had reached Championship Sunday. Chris Johnston had cracked the top-10 the previous two Classics, finishing eighth in 2021.
