The 2022 Bassmaster Elite event on the St. Lawrence River, in my opinion, is the best smallmouth fishery in the world. Coming into this tournament I know I'm leading the Bassmaster Angler of the Year race, but don't know by how many points. This place consistently puts out some of the highest tournament weights in bass fishing and I'm excited to test the water of the might Lake Ontario.
— Brandon Palaniuk is all in on the professional bass fishing tournament trail. At the age of 34, he has done more than most fishermen have done in a lifetime. After winning the BASS Nation National Championship, which gave him a berth into both the Elite Series and the 2011 Bassmaster Classic, there was no looking back. Now a 5x Bassmaster Elite Series Champion, 10x Bassmaster Classic Qualifier, and 2017 Bassmaster Angler of the Year, the dream lives on!
