Five Canadians hoping to follow Cooper Gallant’s lead onto Elite Series, pro bass fishing’s top circuit
In 2022, the Bowmanville, Ont., native committed to fishing all nine Bassmaster Opens in the U.S. to qualify for the Elite Series, pro bass fishing’s top circuit. The move paid off as Gallant finished third in the Southern standings to punch his ticket.
“There’s many good fishermen in Ontario and definitely people who’re capable of doing it,” Gallant said. “It will be super cool to see over the next few years who decides to put in the work and travel all of those miles to try and make it happen.” “For guys who’re really passionate about it like we are, I’m sure it’s pretty cool,” Gustafson said. “I guess we’ve proven you can do it and be competitive.“It’s great to see and I hope there’s 10 Canadians here in the next few years fishing [the Classic],” he said. “It’s nice we kind of paved the way and have showed people, ‘Hey, there’s a chance you can do it even if you’re not from the U.S.’
But there’s more to being a pro than just competing. There’s repeated border crossings and hours of towing a 20-foot boat across the U.S. while also paying expenses in American currency. “I’ve seen many really talented anglers come and go who just didn’t have much financial support. They signed up and put the whole season on a credit card, then you have two or three bad events that create this huge hole of debt. Then the fun goes away, the pressure mounts and you’re not going to make good decisions and fish well. That’s probably the most challenging part.”“It’s kind of a ruthless activity,” Gustafson said. “The highs can be very high and awesome but the lows are really low also.
