Broken Back from Fishing??? (Gary Parsons' REAL Story)

When you fish hard, sometimes things break. Unfortunately, those "things" aren't always fishing gear. In this video, professional walleye angler Gary Parsons shares the story of when his co-angler broke his back during a big walleye tournament on Lake Sakakawea.

He gave up first place to save his partner, that is why he is a professional and classy guy.

I thought it was a DUMB tournament idea to have it start in Garrison and run 50-100 miles to find the fish. North Dakota wind is a cold cruel bitch and she will make a FOOL of all you boys in your bass boats. Remoteness and limited resources, you are lucky more guys didnt get hurt.
