This past weekend, on his Lund Pro V bass boat powered by a Mercury 250 ProXS, Gustafson went wire-to-wire winning his first Bassmaster Elite Championship. The Canadian born pro finished with a four-day total of 63-0 and becomes the second Canadian in Elite Series history to take home the coveted trophy.

“The win means everything to me,” said Gustafson. “It’s for everybody who has supported my crazy dream to fish bass tournaments for a living. Everybody at Lund is at the top of that list because of the long-term support. I’m proud to showcase my awesome boat on this stage and display its versatility. I love that the boat performs well on big water like the Great Lakes as well as shallow river backwaters and everywhere in between.”
