    Walker, Minnesota.........Despite a later (and colder) than usual Minnesota 
Spring, the walleyes finally indicated they are willing to cooperate at the 
Lowrance/Mercury Central Pro-Am walleye tournament today in Walker, Minn.
Fishing legendary Leech Lake, the In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail 
(PWT) anglers found success in the warming waters.

    With two fishing days remaining, pro Bob Hanson, Pequot Lakes, Minn. leads 
the 159-boat field with 21.17 pounds.  He fished with amateur Bill Schmidt, 
Bismarck, ND.   Second place pro Gary Parsons, Glidden, Wis. and amateur 
Mike Abrahamson, Brainerd, Minn. weighed 21.03 pounds.  Holding third place 
are pro Rick Garnder, Greeley, Colorado and amateur Pete Hein, Princeton, 
Minn. with 19.44 pounds.

    Anglers found fishing tough during the 5-day practice period, but as 
sunshine had an impact, today’s “bite” improved dramatically.  A total of 
77 sets of partners caught PWT 6-fish limits.

    The Miller High Life Big Walleye honors went to pro Sheldon Meidinger, 
Bismarck, ND.  His walleye weighed 5.70 pounds.  If it holds as the largest 
of the tournament, it will pay $3,000.  Second and third place big fish 
awards are $1,000 each.

    In PWT tournaments, amateurs fish with a different pro daily, for a chance 
to learn fishing secrets, walleye presentation tactics, boat control 
methods, get an education in electronics (sonar and GPS), and have fun 
exploring all the flats, points, bays, rock piles, and emerging weedlines on 
Leech Lake, Minnesota’s third largest lake.

    Daily weigh-in festivities commence at 3 p.m. Thursday and Friday at 
Walker’s City Park.  Many vacationers and tourists visit the Leech Lake area 
over the Memorial Day weekend, and by visiting the PWT weigh-in, they will 
gain valuable information about  Leech Lake walleyes.  Walleye jig colors, 
depths to fish, speed and spots to fish will be shared on stage Friday.

    Following the Lowrance/Mercury Central Pro-Am, the PWT goes to Lake 
Winnebago in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.  Then, the tour heads west to Devils Lake, 
one of the amazing stories in the fishing world:  more water and more fish. 
That event, July 10-12, still has amateur openings.  To enter, call PWT at 
218-829-0620, or check the web site at www.in-fisherman.com.  This site also 
carries daily results as they occur; go to the Mercury Real Time Scoreboard 
to watch your favorites.
