Gary Klein

BBKO Radio Pro Staff

Elite Series, 30 time Bassmaster CLASSIC Qualifier

When Gary Klein made his way east from California at the tail end of the 1970s to enter BASS competition, he had a distinct advantage over the competition: He was one of the few practitioners of the flipping technique.  Most of his adversaries hadn’t even heard of it. Fans of professional bass fishing may remember the rookie campaigns of Kevin VanDam and Timmy Horton as transcendent, but Klein’s inaugural season was every bit as stout. He won an event and finished second in the Angler of the Year race to Roland Martin.
It was Martin’s last AOY title, and Klein later claimed the crown, but that first season still weighs on him. He had led the race all season, only to see Martin claim first place on the last day.“I ended up one pound, fourteen ounces away. Since 1979 I have logged everything I caught, and I’ve logged missed opportunities. If I get ten bites, I want to touch ten fish. That’s what separates the polished pro from the weekend fisherman.

“I looked at my missed opportunities and had to figure out why they happened. The rod was definitely a part of it.”

Since that time, he’s been noted for his perfectionist tendencies. He’s also maintained many of his sponsors, companies like Quantum, Mercury and Berkley (Trilene) for over two decades.

I started competing in bass fishing tournaments when I was a sophomore in high school. Back then, Western Bass was the association that I fished on the West Coast. I started fishing BASS in 1979. I won the second BASS tournament that I entered which was Lake Powell. I lost angler of the year to Roland Martin that year on the last day of the last tournament by a mere 1lb4oz. Since then, I have won the prestigious BASS Angler of the Year title twice.

I moved to Texas in 1988. I currently live in Weatherford, TX with my wife, Jana and my two daughters, Lakota and Kanyon.

I enjoy spending time with my family in the outdoors. I also enjoy exploring primitive survival skills...A highly skilled marksman.  Both of my girls are also outdoor enthusiasts. They hunt and fish! I would like to touch on this side of my life on his website.

Wally Marshall
"Mr. Crappie"

BBKO Radio Pro Staff

World Champion Crappie Fisherman

In 1985, Wally became the master plumber and plumbing superintendent for the Garland School District in North Texas and served for 17 years. While working at the school district, Wally had only two bad habits: Bird Hunting and Crappie Fishing! Wally always had a kennel of good bird dogs if you liked to hunt quail. Quail hunting was his passion but Crappie fishing was Wally's Dream!! In 1997 Wally heard about a Crappie Tournament that was coming to Cedar Creek lake in east Texas. He had never fished a tournament before but was looking into it seriously, so he asked fellow worker at the school district- Joel Peacock Truel's brother- to fish the tournament with him. Joel was leery and never fished the lake before so Wally went down to pre-fish for the event and found fish located in some cat tails. Perfect! That was wade fishing at it's finest! That day of the tournament, Joel and Wally won the very first crappie tournament and not knowing much about tournaments they had set the world on fire, at least it set Wally on fire.

After the tournament Wally was approached by a tackle rep Jimmy Cunningham , Jimmy was the rep for many crappie fishing products at that time and wanted to know if Wally would like to represent his companies to promote crappie fishing and products ! Wally said of coarse he would, there has never been a professional crappie angler. Wally started promoting crappie fishing and products that Jimmy represented. The summer of 1997 Wally went to the American Sports Association's fishing show in Las Vegas. This is where all of the manufactures that build fishing tackle has a trade show to show all of the products they make. Wally didn't have but 400 dollars to his name after plane tickets, so a friend let him sleep in the camper he had on his truck because Wally couldn't afford a motel room- it was Hot in Vegas!! Wally walked about a mile down the road to the Las Vegas Hilton convention center every day to the show- talking to the companies about sponsoring him because Wally wanted to be a professional angler! After walking and talking for two days at the ASA show, Wally headed back to Garland, Texas rejected with no affiliates. He said everyone would tell you what you wanted to hear so they could get you out of their booth, so he was guessing. Then one day the phone rang and it was Joe Hall who owned Blakemore Lure Company out of Branson, Mo, one of the companies Wally had spoken too. Joe Hall told Wally that there was something about him that caught his eye and to call Wally and work out a affiliateship for Wally to promote his lure "The Blakemore Road Runner". Wow! Wally was so happy to get his first affiliateship! The contract was 12 dozen Blakemore Road Runners. He remembers getting the lures in the mail and putting them in his tackle box one at a time.

Over the next few years Wally was conducting seminars at the Dallas Boat Shows and Barlow's tackle in Richardson, Texas. He started traveling across the state talking crappie fishing to whoever was listening, from one seminar to the next. In 1989 Wally landed his first boat sponsor, Ranger Boats in Flippin, Arkansas. Forrest Woods said they had never heard of a professional crappie angler- and as it was- neither had Wally! Wally then started traveling even more, doing more seminars for Blakemore and Ranger Boats across the country. In 1989 he started Pro Crappie Guide service because everyone Wally met wanted him to take them crappie fishing. So for several years Wally guided for crappie in North Texas on most of the lakes and some bar ditches here and there. Working at the school district and guiding a little on the side helped him to make ends meet. Well by 1992, Wally's affiliates had enough confidence in him doing seminars that they invited him to do some seminars at the World's Fishing Fair in Springfield, Mo. at the one and only Bass Pro Shops®. The seminars at the Worlds Fishing Fair was a Grand Slam for Wally. That weekend Wally sold over 400 cards of Blakemore Road Runners for Blakemore Lure Company. Joe Hall made the comment, "I think we are on to something here."

For the next 4 years Wally continued promoting seminars and being a guest on outdoor shows like Jimmy Houston Outdoors and Barry Stokes outdoor trails TV. By this time Wally had won several major crappie tournaments across the country and was considered one of the top crappie anglers in the country. In 1992 Wally met a new fishing partner, Jeff Heuman from Pilot Point, Texas to fish crappie tournaments with on the creek banks of Lake Texhoma. Wally and Jeff started winning more crappie tournaments and traveling over one million miles chasing crappie and are still fishing partners today! Also in the fall of 1992, Wally moved to 2102 Peggy ln. and purchased the home of the late Mrs. Nicholson that owned the Nicholson Five and Dime on the down town square in Garland. In the fall of 1996 Wally received a phone call from Bass Pro Shops® in Springfield, Mo. to design crappie rods under the Wally Marshall™ name. During the first call Wally told them no, that he wasn't interested. But when the GM of Fishing, Lynn Reeves from Bass Pro Shops® called back to double check, Wally said YES! In 1997 Wally Marshall™ Signature Series crappie rods were in the Bass Pro Shops® catalog and the one store they had in Springfield, Mo. In years to come more products were designed by Wally and Bass Pro was building them as fast as they could to keep up with the demand for Wally Marshall™ Signature Series products.

Wally had come up with the idea of getting a trademark for Mr.Crappie®. Mr.Crappie® seemed like a great name for his products. Over the year’s people had called Wally " The Crappie King", "The Crappie Guru", etc. Mr.Crappie® is one that stuck in Wally's mind. So in 1998 Mr.Crappie® fishing line was invented and sold exclusively at Bass Pro Shops®. Wally Marshall™ designed rods, reels, lures, hooks, floats, line and almost everything you would need to catch or clean a crappie! From 1996 to 2011, Wally Marshall™ has designed the most awesome crappie fishing products for crappie anglers all across the US- and Overseas too! In 2002, Wally said he woke up in the middle of the night thinking about his job for the first time in 17 years he left the school district committing full time to his career in the outdoor industry. Wally Marshall™ sawed that limb off again just a few years ago by walking away from a very lucrative contract with Bass Pro Shops® exclusive rod and reel contract. He wanted to sell his products all over the world and design new and better products for crappie anglers across the US and still work hard selling products at Bass Pro Shops.

Brand new for 2012, Wally Marshall™ "Tuxedo Black" Signature Series by Lew's® and Mr.Crappie® products will be available this fall to the all of the stores across our great nation that sell fishing products. Once again teaming up Lynn Reeves and Wally Marshall™, Lynn reeves was instrumental in Wally Marshall™ Signature Series back in 1997 when he was the GM of fishing at Bass Pro Shops®.

Over the past ten years, Wally has put on the largest family fishing tournament called the Big Crappie Classic. It brings family together to fish in a tournament atmosphere- kids and parents together weighing their catch and spending quality time together in the outdoors. Wally has donated his time taking the Buckner's orphanage kids fishing and special request to take kids out for a day of fishing that have special needs. Wally has donated annually to the Dallas Woods and Water Club for many years. Breast Cancer- Susan Coleman Foundation, Relay for Life, Uncle Jesse's at Pat Mayes Lake tournament for kids Powderly, Texas. Wally also affiliates the Garland Crime Watch and Garland Police Mad Dog Moore fishing tournament every year and many more tournaments across the country that has to do with taking KIDS Fishing. Kids are our future and the future belongs to our KIDS!

Wally's affiliates over the years have played a big roll in the success of Wally Marshall's career and dreams. Ford Motor Company since 2003, Blakemore Lure Company since 1987, almost 25 Years is unheard of in the tackle industry! TTI Companies since 2005, Tempress marine seating since 2001, Betts Tackle since 2006, Bullet Weights since 2009 , Nitro Boats since 2002, Costa since 1998, and Bass Pro Shops® since 1997 . Wally would like to extend a sincere appreciation to all of his affiliates that helped make his dreams come true.

For 25 years, he has covered the outdoors for the Dallas Morning News. Now that their kids are grown, his wife of 43 years, Emilie, has become his favorite hunting and fishing partner. "I'd love to see more women involved in the traditional outdoor sports," says Sasser. "Dedicated couples spend so much time raising their children that they often don't have much in common, once the children are grown. Connecting through nature can create the common ground that's so necessary in a successful relationship."

Ronnie’s first lessons in dog training came from his dad.  He trained his first dog professionally at 14 years old.  To this day he continues to draw from and build upon the principles that his father taught him.  Ronnie took over his father’s operation in 1982 and continues to build the business today.

In addition to training dogs, Ronnie has guided wild bird hunts for over 30 years.  Some of the historical Texas ranches of note that he has guided on include the King Ranch, 6666 Ranch, and the Mariposa Ranch.

His experience guiding has allowed him the opportunity to guide for astronauts, musicians, TV celebrities, writers, Hall of Fame football and baseball players, CEOs of some of the largest corporations in the U.S., Secretaries of State and Presidents. These experiences reinforced his belief that bird dogs and hunting bring together people from all walks of life.

Director of Sporting Field Operations - Purina Pro Plan
Trainer • Writer • TV Host

Bob West, Director of Sporting Field Operations for the Purina Professional Engagement Team, is passionate about sporting dogs and those who own and train them. He also walks the talk, having put more than 75 titles on various sporting dogs over the past 40-plus years as a part-time professional trainer. Bob’s team attends more than 500 field trials and championships a year, some of nearly 1,600 sporting events sponsored annually by Purina.

They help enthusiasts understand the connection between a dog’s performance and nutrition. Purina sponsorship of these events helps build camaraderie, turning participants into loyal Purina feeders. “Through our support, these clubs and organizations are able to accomplish so much more than they would otherwise,” Bob says. “They appreciate our partnering with them. When we convert someone to one of the Purina Pro Plan Sport Formulas, they are impressed with the results. Many take home National titles from prestigious events.”

At his Napsinekee Kennel in LeClaire, Iowa, Bob has trained many breeds, including retrievers, bird dogs and one Beagle. He has participated in American Field horseback and walking trials, American Kennel Club trials. Master Hunter tests, and North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) Tests. After a retiring from Quality Control Engineer at J.I. Case Co., Bob went to work for Purina in 1987. Around that time he wrote “The Best Way to Train Bird Dogs and Then Some”, Bob contributes regularly to Gun Dog and Ruffed Grouse Society magazines. He has coordinated and appeared in 12 training videos produced by InterMedia Outdoors. Additionally, he judges regional and national field trials and hunting tests. In 2012, Bob became one of 11 people to receive the highest honor from the National Shoot to Retrieve Association, the Distinguished Member Award, for his dedication to field trialing, and one of seven to become an honorary life member of NAVHDA. “NAVHDA evaluates true versatile, trained dogs in the water and field with performance scored against a standard,” he says. “It is an exciting sport.”

All Three German Shorthaired Pointers at Bob’s kennel have earned the lofty Versatile Champion title, the highest title awarded by NAVDHA for excellence in the field. So he’s on to spending time with a newcomer to Napsinekee Kennel , a black Labrador Retriever pup, called “Cody,” who was whelped in March 2013 and whose pedigree boasts some of the country’s finest AKC field trial Labradors. “I plan to take Cody as far as he and I can go,” Bob says.

Reflecting on the passion he sees in the field, Bob says, ldquo;People love their dogs, the fellowship and competition. I most enjoy the friends we make, the relationships and  trust we’ve earned with people with sporting dogs and at Purina. We are in many ways a family who believes Purina Pro Plan is best for our dogs.”
