I have lived in North West Iowa, South East South Dakota since 1951. I married a wonderful woman in 1969, we have 4 children of our own, 1 adopted, and 16 grandchildren.

I started fishing as a hobby/pastime in '78 on the Missouri river from the Fort Randall Dam to Platte South Dakota and have been fishing there ever since.  In 1993 I Joined the North American Fishing Club as a Lifetime member. In 2005 I began guiding on the Missouri River south of Platte, South Dakota. I am also member and a sponsor of Walleyes Unlimited in Sioux Falls South Dakota Chapter

After meeting Vern and Jeff in 2007 I joined the Wild Dakota Pro Staff  in 2008.  These are the most down to earth people you will ever meet.

Thanks,
Ben Robertson
