 About: "Doc" Bruce Samson has multiple major wins to his credit and is known as the Devils Lake master, winning the PWT on the lake twice. He has a total of 4 PWT wins. He also won the MWC National Walleye Championship in 1986 and the RCL National Walleye Championship in 2002. He has a winning formula that has worked for him on both lakes and rivers; this formula includes using today's technology to his advantage on the water. While GPS and Sonar technology are common tools in competitive walleye fishing, few walleye pros have blended the technology with aerial photos, satellite elevation charts and custom-designed contour maps as well as Doc does and he has proved his techniques on the tournament trail. Because Doc is willing to share his knowledge and experience, he was the recipient of the Professional Walleye Trail Norb Wallock Memorial Teaching Award for being the "Top PWT Teaching Pro" in 2004. Doc focuses on teaching fishing through seminars, classes, Instructional DVDs, his educational website www.hightechfishing.com, sport shows and at any boat ramp.

Website: www.hightechfishing.com has an extensive library on fishing, sonar, GPS, and boat control for learning how to catch more fish.
