My great nephew Chrae and me (Chris Kuntz)Hi, my name is Chris Kuntz and I would like to tell you a little bit about myself.

  I was born on the plains of North Dakota.  As a child, our favorite family outing was fishing.  We didn't live far from the banks of the Cannonball River and we spent many days fishing for Northern Pike, Catfish, Walleye, Sauger, crappie and huge sturgeons.

  My lovely wife (Susan) of 34 years with a 5 lb walleye.Fishing became a favored sport for my wife and I.  She lived on the banks of the big Missouri River and I would spend time at her house fishing and fish from shore.  Shortly after we were married in 1972, I joined the U.S. Army and our travels began for the next twenty years. I was stationed in Colorado, Germany, California, Jamestown ND, Kansas, Germany and Alaska. Not to mention the many other states that the military sent me to school.   In every location that I was transferred to, we managed to keep fishing as one of our top sports, even in Germany.  Some of our best fishing was in Alaska, where you can really get spoiled on Big fresh Salmon. 

  The Missouri river view out my door.After my retirement 1993, I returned to North Dakota and pondered about fishing.  Actually, after fishing in Alaska it was difficult to think of fishing as fun or worth it, unless you caught a 20 pounder.  After a few years of not pursuing the sport, I began to notice that something was missing.  My brother Frank took me fishing on his boat and I remember catching a three pound walleye, I looked at it and turned it loose.  Frank asked what I did with the fish and I said it was too small, he just looked at me in disbelief and he said that was a good eater.  The next few times fishing with Frank got me hooked on fishing for walleye. 

  I began looking around and thought about buying a boat, mainly just to get away from the shop and relax.  Of course, I had to decide on what kind of tackle to buy, which started my quest for the elusive Walleye.  Now I eat, sleep, and dream of Walleye fishing.  Not Scenery from my house on the Missouri river. only because they are great to eat, but they are fun to catch and have proven to be a worthy opponent. 

  I currently fish between 10 to 13 tournaments a year, with over 110 days on the water. By the way, I fish a few of the tournaments with my younger brother Al, who knows, when he retires we may just become full time partners’ on the walleye circuit. Time will tell.   

  That's it in a nut shell so keep a tight line, take a kid fishing and if you are too busy to fish then you are just too busy.................Hope you enjoy my site, as time goes by I'll keep adding more info so keep checking back.
