The odds don't favour Canadian Jeff Gustafson successfully defending his US$1-million Bassmaster Classic title.

"I don't have much experience ... but I have an idea of what I want to do and hopefully can find something special," Gustafson said."Last year was a life-changing experience, it's the tournament you want to win and when you do it just makes you want to win it again even more.For a second straight year, four Canadians qualified for the Classic. Also in the 56-angler field are Cory Johnston, of Cavan, Ont., his younger brother, Chris, of Peterborough, Ont.

"At Fork, I missed the boat a little bit. I learned I probably have to get better at this forward-facing sonar stuff. It's unbelievable how guys are using it and kicking butt." Gustafson won the Classic with just one unit. He intended to stand pat this season but added a second setup before Toledo Bend to remain competitive.

FFS isn't new to tournament fishing. But the technology's recent explosion has prompted debate about whether anglers require experience or good electronics to compete.
