Bruce
was born February 10, 1949 in North Dakota. He finished his formal education
in 1976 with a Medical Degree. Most of his career was in Family Practice
but he also worked in Emergency Rooms, Urgent Care Centers, Occupational
Medicine Departments, and a Back Pain Clinic. He has such a passion
for fishing that he went to shift work so he could fish walleye tournaments.
His tournament successes and the challenge of a new career motivated
him to change careers in 2002 to full time Professional Walleye Angler.
This new career includes competing in major walleye tournaments, writing
many how to fish articles including an Advanced Electronics Series in
the Walleye In-sider. Not to mention product education at Sports Shows,
seminars, the new Lowrance School, research and development for the
companies he represents, and much more.
