Dale does it again, and he always seems to make it look easy. John joins Pro guide Dale Stroschein on his honey hole in Sturgeon Bay catching one after another, of amazing bass. All the fish that make it to TV are 4 pounds +, and they weigh a few just to prove it. Hooking a Gulp Crawler good 'ol "Wacky" style and tossing is overboard seems to be all they need to do, oh and repeat of course.

Episode 43
Eric’s Up North Vacation
Show Date: October 20th & 21st, 2007
Location: Lake Superior, Michigan
Guide: Pro Guide Eric Haataja [414-546-4627 | wibigfish.com]

Eric Haataja has been fishing Lake Superior for over 30 years. He shares his knowledge of the area as we join him on vacation with his buddy Steve in this beautiful area. The first day of fishing is disastrous, an all day rain with consistent 25mph winds, the guys stick it out though. The second day is a perfect day for fishing, and truly reflects what Eric is saying when he calls the area “my Canada”. Using plastics and blade bates to cast for walleyes, and dragging suckers for trophy pike, our anglers seem to have it all covered.
