Canadians Take I. Falls Bass Championship

A northwestern Ontario team has become the first two-time winner of the International Falls Bass Championship.

Jeff Gustafson of Kenora, along with his fishing partner Scott Dingwall of Dingwell, won this year's title by weighing in just over 30-pounds of bass over the weekend.

"It feels pretty good," says Gustafson. "It's so hard to win any of these big tournaments. We enjoy it and we're going to enjoy it until next year."

Gustafson and Dingwall won the inaugural tournament in 2005 by beating Travis Peterson and Scott Mattson of Bemidji who also finished second this year.

Here's exclusive video of their weigh-in on the final day of the championship.
