written by Easton Fothergill Winning two tournaments in my first season as a Bassmaster Opens angler was definitely not on my radar at the beginning of the season. Driving to Lake Okeechobee, I knew I was one of the least experienced people in the Tackle Warehouse Elite Qualifier field.

Fothergill is back for a one on one, in-depth, intergalactic bassin' conversation. In case you've been living in a brushpile, Gill-Daddy is currently leading the AOY Opens EQ Points going into the northern swing, coming off a huge win on Lake Eufala. Easton's story is unique among all anglers that hail from MN. Aside from his reputation for being a wizard with electronics and a spinning pole, the key difference between him and his predecessors is his dominance away from home in the southern territory.
