Gamakatsu/Spro

   

I recently got to spend a day on the water with Yugo Fiji, Kentaro Hara, and Syd Rives - the owners and managers of two of my great sponsors, Gamakatsu hooks and Spro. We managed to catch some nice bass on Lake Minnetonka and one small muskie. We started the morning looking for walleyes but didn't manage to boat any. 

I can not tell you how great these guys were to fish with. It was a pleasure and an honor to get to spend a day in the boat with them. I am lucky enough to help them develop some new products. I am going to help design baits, hooks, and help them expand their product line. They are already the world leader in hooks but they are not happy just being the best, they are always striving to be better and make better products. I look forward to working with them.

Here is Syd with his first ever muskie!  A bit on the small side, but not bad for a jig worm fish.  Congrats on getting the muskie smell on your hands Syd.
