Craig Stapon

Craig has been a dedicated tournament angler since 1982. He has helped develop his own line of Musky lures called the Crazy Crippler and a series of bass, walleye and his famous Red Oktober Musky rod.
He is know as one of the top Musky anglers in Canada and currently is serving his 3rd term as President of the Canadian Esox Association. At this point the largest membership in Canada with over 400 members. Once called a fledgling organization by Muskie’s Canada this group has quickly grown and is now the national voice for Musky Fisherman in Canada. Craig has been doing seminars across Canada and thru the USA on Musky fishing and has hosted several TV shows both in open and hard water.
Craig was most recently selected to fish for Team Canada, one of 30 pro anglers from across the country to compete in a Canada vs. USA challenge in June 2012.
He often jokes about having the best face in radio, as he has successfully hosted a weekly radio show for the last 5 years called “Let’s Talk Fishin’” on CJOB 68 Winnipeg every Wednesday night @ 8:00.
"I have had callers from across the country call the show. It has been a blast to touch base with angling communities from North America.
I have been guiding since 1978 and hope to share some wisdom with our readership."
