Usually Jeff Gustafson makes the trip home to Kenora, Ont., from Bassmaster Elite Series events alone.
This time, though, he had company.
Strapped in the passenger s seat of Gustafson s truck for the 2,100-kilometre, 20-hour drive from Knoxville, Tenn., was a huge blue championship trophy. Gustafson claimed the hardware Sunday by winning his first Bassmaster tournament on the Tennessee River. It rode shotgun with me the whole way, Gustafson said. I probably looked over at it a couple of times an hour and it made me smile.
