2026 FISHING SEMINAR SPEAKERS

TED TAKASAKI

A Fishing Hall of Fame Legendary Angler, Ted is one of the top competitors on the National Walleye Tour.  Ted won the prestigious Professional Walleye Trail (PWT) Classic Championship in 1998 and the 1995 PWT Top Gun Angler Award.  In 2002, he smashed the all-time, one day PWT tournament record, which still stands today, with a limit of 5 walleyes that weighed 53.2 pounds! 

JOE HENRY

 As a fishing guide, licensed charter captain, and tournament angler, Joe Henry has made fishing a part of his everyday life.  He has experienced many successes throughout the years with some tough days sprinkled in as well.  It is learning from both, Joe believes, that helps make an angler more effective and versatile.  

Joe is an award-winning presenter and outdoor communicator, sharing fishing techniques, strategies and philosophies with thousands through seminars, tv shows, videos and articles across the U.S.   His seminars are multimedia, educational, and entertaining for all anglers.
Professionally, Joe is the Executive Director of Lake of the Woods Tourism, working closely with over 60 lodging facilities, area guides, and a variety of stakeholders both inside and outside the fishing industry.
