Tom Huynh University Launches Lake of the Woods Course — Learn from One of the Best

If you’ve followed the competitive walleye fishing scene in recent years, you’ve probably heard the name Tom Huynh. Known for his innovative use of forward-facing sonar and his ability to consistently find and catch big walleyes, Tom has become a dominant force in the tournament world.

His track record on Lake of the Woods speaks for itself — including a first-place finish in the AIM Minnesota State Championship and multiple other top tournament placements. On Lake of the Woods, he brought in a five-fish limits tipping the scales at over 55 pounds. Simply put, Tom knows how to locate and land giant walleyes on this massive, diverse body of water.

Now, for the first time, he’s pulling back the curtain.

Introducing the Lake of the Woods Course

Tom has created a brand-new educational segment within his Tom Huynh University called the Lake of the Woods Course. This is not a generic fishing guide or a collection of basic tips. It’s a fully immersive, over 100-video training series that dives deep into the lake’s unique features, seasonal patterns, and specific strategies that Tom himself uses to win at the highest level.

And for those who want to go even further, there’s the Lake of the Woods Course Plus. This premium version not only delivers the same in-depth instruction but also includes something you won’t find anywhere else — actual GPS waypoints to spots where Tom has caught many of his tournament-winning walleyes. These aren’t “maybe” spots. They are proven, high-percentage areas that have produced some of the largest fish weighed in competitive events.

What’s Inside the Course

The Lake of the Woods Course is broken down into modules designed to help anglers of all experience levels. Each module focuses on a different aspect of fishing this world-class walleye fishery, including:

Seasonal Strategies – How to adapt your approach for spring, summer, fall, and winter conditions.
Structure-Specific Techniques – Targeting reefs, mud basins, transition zones, and island points with precision.
Migration Patterns – Understanding how walleyes move across this vast system and why timing is critical.
Basin Giants – The art of finding and catching trophy-class fish roaming the deep mud.
River Tactics – Proven setups for the Rainy River’s walleyes and sturgeon.

What makes this course stand out is that everything is tied directly to best practices for using forward-facing sonar. Tom is widely recognized for pushing the limits of this technology, and in this course, he walks you step-by-step through how to set it up, interpret what you’re seeing, and turn sonar readings into bites.

Learn, Apply, and Retain

One of the most powerful features of the course is its built-in knowledge checks. After each major section, you’ll have the opportunity to test what you’ve learned. These aren’t just quiz questions for the sake of it — they are designed to help you retain the information so that when you get on the water, you’ll remember the key points and be able to put them into action.

By combining video instruction, on-the-water examples, and interactive learning, Tom ensures that you’re not just passively watching — you’re actively building skills you can use immediately.
