If he quit fishing right now, we’d say he already had a successful career, and this is only his first year on the Bassmaster Elite Tournament Trail! That is correct – Jay Przekurat just won his first blue trophy and his first six-figure paycheck but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Jay Przekurat led the field from beginning to end at the Elite event on the St. Lawrence River/Lake Ontario this past weekend. Prior to this event, no angler in recorded sportfishing history had ever reached 100 pounds solely with only smallmouth in his live well, but Przekurat did just that. His feat earned him a spot in the prestigious Bassmaster Century Club, which recognizes a four-day total of 100 pounds or more. Few have attained this feat. In addition to making history by joining the Century Club, Przekurat also became the youngest Elite Series champion at 23 years and 26 days old. Jay is the leader for the 2022 Bassmaster Angler of the Year trophy. Amazing! Listen to a great young man tell us about his early successes. You’ll be hearing a lot from Jay Przekurat in the near future.
Dan Johnston from St. Croix joins us to talk a very important subject. He explains how to choose line. Line is incredibly important in the fishing process and a lot of people choose the wrong line. Listen to dan and you won’t make that mistake again
