[Gary Korsgaden]

What has happened to many of the Pro's not on the circuit anymore. What lifes path are they on. Can anyone throw out a few names and where they are now.

[Chad]

Steve Bissett
Vaughn Cornelius
Ron Anlauf
Harry Stiles
Dale Stroschein

All I can think of without doing some research.

[Chris Haley]

What happened to Jim Klick? He was on a hot streak the last couple years and now not on any trail.

[Gary Korsgaden]

Chad,

I forgot about Vaughin thanks for the reminder. I think he is running a Subway or something like that or owns it. Nice guy don't you agree.

Bernie, did Chad win 3 PWT's? I guess I didn't realize that! Wow, thats quite a feat...Which 3 did he get? Thanks for the info lesson, RJ in Montana.
Also, are you going to be at the Mobridge PWT? Would love to get together for some BS, more than 30 seconds this time...RJ

Eric Naig is one.

[Sully]

Steve Bissett was involved with FLW League last year, but I have not seen him on the trail this year.

Chad Hall =

-Selling Lunds
-Raising Pigs
-Raising a Family

[formerpros]

There's also Eric Naig (sp?). I guess working for Berkly had better perks than the Tourney Trail.

[formerpros]

Chad won a Fort Peck event, and an event on Stockton Lake in MO. One other I can't remember maybe Fort Peck twice????

[Fish_on]

Chad won a Mille Lacs tournament at age 22, which made him the youngest angler to win a PWT a record that I think still holds. The Fort Peck tournament also was back when they had two pros fishing together, he drew Bob Propst Jr on the final day if I recall, which was a close friend of his, and still is I believe. That precipitated some of the movement towards changing it to a pro-am. Then he won the walleye super pro at Ouachita, Arkansas (I think) in a really tough bite. I believe he won all three with bottom bouncers and spinners. I was at the Super Pro he won, and the bite was really tough. I think the Stockton Super pro was won by Daryl Christensen.

I'm just going from memory on all this. Hope I'm accurate

[manitobawalleye]

why does it seem john peterson is taking the year off
i see he did make the cut as a super pro
and also do not see him in regionals or flw
i know he has a business to run
hope its just a matter of business/family ?


manitoba .... a 100,000 lakes
how many walleyes ????
i will never have enough time....

[RBJ]

Anyone remember Tom Bruno? Don't know if he won much, but fished it for a lot of years.

[Ristorapper]

Didn't I hear that he got involved with bass tourney fishing with his son?????/

[formerpros]

He's guiding on Lake Oahe. Saw him last weekend.

[formerpro]

Oh...also saw Kent "Hutch" Hutcheson. He's been guiding up there for quite some time as well.

[Berkley]

Eric Naig left the competitive world to run the Berkley pro-staff. He's now in charge of all of the pros on that staff. Bass, walleye, muskie, saltwater, etc.

[SHA]

Doug Burns, I drew him as a co-anglar once. I remembdr his article in Walleye central about walleye below the thermocline.

[walleyechaser]

I remember a great fisherman--Ralph Brunner from the early days of the MWC and the pwt.Great guy

Doug's still lives in NW IA. Spending time with his family. Talked to him last week on West O. catching fish with his youngest.
