Ohio walleye scandal deals big blow to tournament fishing

Gustafson, of Kenora, Ont., learned of the scandal while competing in a tournament in northern Ontario. All three Canadians have competed in the US$1-million Bassmaster Classic — the circuit’s top event — the last three years and qualified to do so in 2023. “But it just tarnishes the image of tournament fishing, be it bass or walleye,” Johnston said. “People spend a lot of money to get into these tournaments and have a lot invested into it with equipment and stuff like that.
