Like it or not, technology has caused a major change in both how anglers are fishing and how tournaments are being won. Youngsters like Austin Tomasek are quickly making a name for themselves by using FFS to cast for walleyes, even on large bodies of water like Lake Erie. In this episode Captain Ross talks with Austin about what to look for, what to use, and exactly how he just won over a $100,000 at the 2026 Lake Erie NWT.

Capt. Ross Robertson has made his complete living chasing walleye as a full time professional angler for more than 20 years. Through the years he has worn many hats including time as a fishing guide, boat salesman, TV host, outdoor writer, product designer, tournament fisherman, speaker, radio host and podcaster to name a few.

Ross fishes ice-out to ice-up on the Great Lakes. He spends the majority of the year walleye fishing on Lake Erie’s Western and Central basins.
