Walleye fishing is booming! Today there is greater awareness of walleye fishing and increasing popularity in the sport than even before. And for good reasons. Thanks to the regulation of walleye waters and the management of fish populations by the Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife Service, walleye anglers are experiencing the best walleye fishing in years.

What's more, the sport of walleye fishing has grown tremendously over the past 10 years with the creation of the In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail (PWT) tournament circuit. Now for the first time walleye fishing receives exposure in magazines and on national television and radio, attracting top sponsors along with the best walleye anglers in the world. And that's where Daryl Christensen enters the fishing scene.

Living close to some of the best walleye waters in Wisconsin, Lake Winnebago, Daryl fine tuned his walleye fishing skiills and was known locally as a "hot stick." He was successful fishing the local walleye and bass tournaments and soon realized he could make a living from fishing. You'll discover many of Daryl's secret strategies and benefit from his many years of "on-the-water" experience when reading about his prefishing strategies and his tactics for finding winning fish. You'll get some valuable insights into the sponsorship side of professional angling, and you'll look deep into the personal life and thoughts of one of the premiere professional anglers of our day.

Daryl is not only a good fisherman, but a skilled communicator who represents the sport and his sponsors with integrity. He is a loyal ambassador to the sport of walleye fishing and is my idea of what a true role model should be.

I'm proud to be his friend.
