    Lake Sakakawea Walleyes

    Beulah Bay, North Dakota....When the pros throttled their Mercury outboards this morning, they knew the prospects were bright.  The In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail (PWT) anglers were rewarded as 112 pro-am partners (76%) caught limits.

    Leading the Lund Walleye boats Boats Western Pro-Am is Oregon pro Terry Ryckman.  His 6-fish PWT limit weighed 28.10 pounds.  He fished with amateur Scott Kolling, Dickinson, ND.  This is Ryckman's first-ever PWT lead.  He's been fishing the pro tour for three years.  Holding down second place is past PWT winner, Remington Top Gun and Angler of  the Year Mike Gofron walleye fishing pro from Antioch Illinois Mike Gofron, Antioch, IL.  With amateur Clem Jacak, Allenton, WI, they weighed 26.33 pounds.

    Third place pro is past PWT Champion  Mark Brumbaugh, Arcanum, Ohio with 25.19 pounds.  Fourth place and Raytheon Rookie of the Year leader is Rick Walter, Casper, WY.  He weighed 25.17 pounds.

    Bass Pro Shops big fish awards were for 7-pounders, with pro Kevin Kraft, Maple Grove, MN weighing a 7.78 pound walleye for $2,000. Pro Scott Peters, Hastings, MN scored $1,200 for a 7.26-pounder.  Amateur Kolling collected $1,025 for his 7.20 pound fish, and pro Walter netted $950 for a 6.99 pound walleye. 

    The day dawned gray and gloomy with a strong east wind blowing about 20 mph straight down the massive reservoir with three-footers making travel slow.  The wind died about 1 p.m., and a typical North Dakota day (high temperatures, hazy skies and high humidity) smiled on the huge weigh-in crowd at Beulah Bay. 

    Weigh-in festivities occur Thursday and Friday with lots of community involvement as Beulah and Hazen volunteers worked together to plan and bring off a first-class event.  "This is a premier tournament-town," said pro Bob Hansen, Pequot Lakes, MN.  The Friday awards ceremonies are important  for the pros and amateurs as nearly $250,000 in cash and merchandise is distributed.  And, it's critical for walleye fans who learn the pro's secret spots and tactics.The PWT is part of PRIMEDIA, Inc., America's leading producer of targeted media headquartered in New York City. PWT sponsors include: Beulah Chamber of Commerce (701-873-4585), Hazen Chamber of Commerce  (701-748-6848) and North Dakota Tourism (800-HELLO-ND),
