                        Walleye Fans Ready to Cheer PWT Pro
                        Anglers Fishing for $100,000 First Prize

    Brainerd, Minnesota.....After a season of tournament walleye fishing on the 
In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail (PWT), 52 finalists from 14 states 
qualified for the Mercury Championship in Bismarck.  Pro anglers from as far 
away as Pennsylvania and Washington state will soon be heading to the 
Missouri River.  They will come from Canada, Kansas, Colorado and the 
traditional walleye states.

    As individuals, they want to win the Mercury Championship $100,000 
first-place prize.  They will net their catches on the river Sept. 12-14, 
then drive inside the Bismarck Civic Center and be cheered by thousands of 
walleye fans.  Entire families enjoy the stage spectacle and Sport Show.

    Leading the charge is the Miller/In-Fisherman Angler of the Year John 
Kolinski, Menasha, Wis.  Also competing is last year’s Missouri River 
$100,000 Champion, Mike Gofron, Antioch, IL.  The 1996 Champion, Jim 
Randash, Rapid City, SD, qualified as  the top Dee Zee West Division angler. 
  Ted Takasaki, Brainerd, Minn., 1998 Champion, placed second overall this 
season.  Ron Seelhoff, Burlington, CO, is back.  He won in 1999 and 2000, 
and with three seconds and a fifth in the past six Championships has the 
best Championship record  The PWT web site includes facts, figures, stories 
and photos of Championship qualifiers.  The site:
