I have been fishing from a very young age with my Father. Fishing for a variety of species from panfish, perch, crappie, walleye, pike, bass, lake trout. Spending hours in the boat developing patience, and knowledge of the target species. Started tournament fishing in the late 80s with Ottawa Bass, OV Pro Bass and GM Pro bass to making the move to Renegade, Ottawa Bass Association to even going down to fish in the United States with Bassmaster weekend series and eventually the Northern Opens. Turning my passion of fishing to help others catch fish as a guide on Big Rideau Lake. In 2004 started the Peter Larmand Outdoors Kids Fishing Tournament. Starting with 7 kids and growing it to near 100 kids attending the event on the last Saturday of May ever since.

2025 I wanted to take the kids fishing to the next level and launched the Inaugural Peter Larmand Outdoors Angler/Young Angler Bass Tournament on June 21, 2025. Pairing an Angler(boater) with a Young Angler and Parent/Guardian, for a bass tournament. The anglers fish as a team for a 4 fish limit, which is have to be alive when weighed in. Prizes for the top 3 boater and young angler.

This is a great opportunity for the young angler to ask questions about fishing techniques, boating safety etc. The response was so favourable that we are running another one in the fall. Starting in 2026 we will have a pike/walleye event in May and a bass tournament in September.

All about creating memories and getting the next generation into a great sport like fishing and the great outdoors.
