    "Bay QUEST"
    Jim Bell tackles second place in Green Bay Walleye Tournament

    Green Bay Wisconsin -Using a slightly different twist on an old play, Chilton Wi, walleye veteran Gary Parsons scored the winning touchdown today in  "Bay Quest" here on Green Bay .  Parsons outdistanced an elite field of the nations top professional anglers the walleye worlds version of the Green Bay Packers' front line by weighting the heaviest six-fish limit brought to the scales during the Day three competetion on these world class waters.Like most of the top anglers in this field, Parsons caught all of his fish by trolling spinner rigs on Larson's Reef a popular Wisconsin walleye hot spot.  Parsons concentrated his fishing efforts to areas where his electronics (sonar) revealed concentrations of larger walleyes.  Parsons' spinners (which he credited most of his success)  were coated with Palladium ( a high gloss coating)These spinners produce a lot more flash than a normal chrome spinner, "Parsons told the press contingent.  "When you're competing with the massive quantities of shad ( the primary forage for Green Bay walleyes), you must use a lure that gives off a lot of flash like these bait fish."Parsons' day three weight was 36.71 lbs earning him $8,571 in cash and a  Tournament Pro 170 boat,  EFI 150-horsepower motor and trailer valued at $20,000, making his total purse worth $28,571.Finishing in the runner-up spot was veteran Jim Bell of Blaine Minnesota Bell who fished completely different than many of the anglers fishing in this "star studded" field. b Fishing barely more than a mile from the boat ramp, Bell trolled   Rainbow spinner rigs in very shallow, muddy water.  Bells day three catch of 33.26 lbs earned him a total of $7,143Dale Sprouse a Blaine Minnesota pro, finished in third place with a catch weighting 31.99 lbs.  Sprouse's third place finish earned him $6,249 in cash winnings."I discovered this during practice when making the sweeping turns." Naig said at the press conference. "When the outside board would speed up and start bouncing, the fish seemed to respond to that particular llure."Top Ten Professional spots
