Go behind the scenes with Craig from the Central Wisconsin Bass Anglers as we talk tournament fishing, Wisconsin bass lakes, and everything it takes to run a successful tournament trail.

From Craig’s own journey into competitive fishing to the history and growth of the CWBA, this episode pulls back the curtain on the work anglers rarely see—season planning, permits, tournament mornings, weigh-ins, rules, weather calls, fish care, and the challenges of keeping every event fair and fun.

We also talk conservation, welcoming new tournament anglers, the future of grassroots bass fishing in Wisconsin, and why the CWBA continues to be a place where competition and community go hand in hand.

Whether you fish tournaments every weekend or have been thinking about entering your first one, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
