                        Bill St. Peter Moves into Lead at
                           Saginaw Bay PWT Tournament

    AuGres, Michigan.....Touring walleye pro Bill St. Peter, Bay City, 
Michigan, took the top spot after two days of fishing competition.  He was 
part of the Lund/PowerBait Pro-Am Northeastern Pro-Am on Saginaw Bay, 
fishing for a share of $250,000.

    The In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail (PWT) contestants motored onto 
the Bay under clear skies.  The fish were active and anglers spread 
throughout the Bay.  St. Peter, a former major league baseball player, knows 
the intensity necessary to make it to the top.  With a two-day weight of 
61.63 pounds, he leads the 140-boat field.

    This is the first year St. Peter has fished the entire tour of six PWT 
Pro-Am tournaments across the United States.  He previously competed on the 
Dee Zee Eastern Division, and is the only divisional angler to have 
qualified all three seasons.  He is in position to qualify once again this 
year.  The September Championship will be held in Bismarck, North Dakota.

    Day one leader Steve Bohn, Fairgrove, Michigan, with 60.94 pounds is in 
second.  The highest ranking amateur is Chuck Harmston, Andover, Minn., who 
won earlier this season on Lake Erie.  The winning amateur tows home a 
17-foot Lund boat with a Mercury outboard on an Eagle trailer, valued at 
$15,000.  The top pro collects a Lund/Mercury/Eagle 20-foot walleye rig plus 
cash for a $53,000 first prize.

    The U.S. Coast Guard notified PWT headquarters that a small craft advisory 
was issued in early afternoon, and all boats were instructed to immediately 
return to port.  Several notices went out via the Coast Guard safety 
channel.  The PWT issued a similar command for all boats to return.  This 
message was transmitted throughout the Bay.   Fortunately, the 60 to 80 mph 
winds and hail that was slightly east of tournament boundaries and forecast 
to move through the Bay, did not materialize.  Charlie Moore, PWT tournament 
director said, “Safety is our most important goal, and we appreciate the 
cooperation of the Coast Guard.”   Moore continued, “Some pros were late 
returning and their catches for the day did not count.”

    The Miller High Life Big Fish of the day weighed 9.16 pounds, and was 
landed by pro Nick Homayed, Dearborn Heights, Michigan.  It was worth 
$1,000.

    Maintaining his Miller/In-Fisherman Angler of the Year lead, John Kolinski, 
Menasha, Wisconsin, needs one more strong fishing day to claim the $25,000 
cash award that goes to the Number One pro for 2003.  Many other year-end 
races will be settled on the final day, including the Mercury Top amateur, 
the Raymarine Rookie of the Year and Championship qualifiers.
