Gary Rehbein

Bass Pro-Staff / Tournament Angler

Outdoor Writer

Wild Kidz Outdoors Youth Organization Founder

I have been enjoying the outdoors for nearly all my life. I grew up on Deer Lake, near Deer River, Minnesota. Deer Lake was a challenging body of water, noted for its large Walleye, Smallmouth bass, and Muskie. On many occasions I was the resident expert on the water, taking friends and family members out to experience some of their best fishing of the year. On many occasions my companions would come back after a long day on the water, sharing stories of the fun and excitement they experienced. Those memories are an important reminder of the bond many individuals have with the outdoors. I have always been passionate about the outdoors, focusing on fishing and hunting adventures for more than twenty-five years.

Tournament History: I have been fishing bass tournaments consistently for the last three years. I have found quick success in tournament angling and am a competitor every time on the water. Bass tournaments have pushed me to develop as an angler, looking at difficult days as a learning opportunity to explore new fishing techniques. I embrace the tournament competition format, it helps refine your skills and techniques.

Outdoor Writing: I began my journey with outdoor writing, making monthly contributing articles to Outdoorsweekly.com. Writing provides me with an outlet to engage others about the knowledge I have gathered throughout the years. I am motivated to develop an effective writing style and continue writing as a means of connecting with other anglers.

I plan on fishing many tournaments throughout Minnesota this summer, I hope to see you on the water.

Favorite Lake:
Devils Lake

Favorite Technique:
Trolling Crankbaits or Slip Bobber fishing in the timber

Favorite Fishing Memory:
My favorite memory came fishing a tournament on Lake Ashtabula in 2009. I pre-fished 3 days and only caught 3 walleyes, the biggest being 17 inches. On tournament day, I went to a spot that was known to hold larger fish. My game plan was to fish it all day and hope for the right bite. I had two fish in the livewell with 20 minutes left in the tournament. With ten minutes left, a rod doubled over and I landed a 29inch 9lb walleye. That fish won me the tournament giving me my first tournament victory.

Hobbies:
Other than fishing, I love to waterfowl hunt.

What's in store for the 2011 season?
I am planning on fishing the Masters Walleye Circuit West Division and hopefully making it to the championship. Each year I also fish the Spirit Lake Casino tournament on Devils Lake. I'm also looking at fishing the FM Walleyes tournaments on Pelican Lake in May and Big Cormorant Lake in September.
