Propst Fishing Dynasty
Bob Propst Jr, son of fishing legend Bob Propst Sr, has blazed a legendary fishing career himself.ย Bob Jr was the 1991 PWT Rookie of the Year, the first in the history of walleye fishing. Some other major accomplishments in his storied career include 2 Professional Walleye Trail Victories and 1 RCL(FLW) Win. Jr was 1/2 of the 2009 Masters Walleye Cricut West Team of the Year, which are just a few of his accomplishments on a legendary resume.ย
Bob Jr has spent over 40 years of his life guiding, beginning at the age of 14 along the shores of Lake McConaughy. As the 90’s and Lake Oahe in South Dakota became more prevalent, Bob moved to Pierre, SD and began guiding with Bob Sr on Lake Sharpe and Lake Oahe on the the beautiful Missouri River system. Bob’s deep passion of catching walleye has taken him across the country, cashing checks in not only South Dakota and Nebraska but also in Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Wisconsin, Wyoming,ย and even down in Arkansas.ย
