Consistency Helps Lotz and Daughenbaug Win  - MWC Tournament On Big Stone Lake.

Ortonville, MN - Consistent catches on Saturday and Sunday helped Steve Lotz (Lena, IL) and Dave Daughenbaug (McConnell, IL) win the Berkley - MWC Tournament and take home a check for $ 10, 138.70.

Winners of the Berkley-MWC Tournament at Big Stone Lake. Dave Daughenbaug and Steve Lotz with Bill Leonard representing Berkley.

Held on Big Stone Lake, Lotz and Daughenbaug were in the lead on Saturday
weighing 22.65 pounds of walleyes and taking second in the big fish pot with
a 7.2-pound walleye. With a nearly 5 pound lead over the next closest team,
the team's biggest concern was to be able to weigh a full basket of five fish on the second day.

According to Lotz, "Big Stone walleyes really turn on when the weather is
lousy and the wind comes up. We felt lucky to have the fish we did on
Saturday considering how nice and calm it was. When we launched on Sunday,
the lake was still calm and we knew we would have our work cut out for us".

"Our goal was to first get our five fish and then hope for a large kicker
fish to keep us in the running", added Daughenbaug.

By trolling shad raps and bombers in water less than ten feet plus slip bobber fishing with leeches, Lotz and Daughenbaug weighed their five fish on
Sunday for another 10.05 pounds, but weren't able to bring in their kicker.

Coming in second was the team of Perry Nelson (Breckenridge, MN) and Robert Proudfoot (Fergus Falls, MN). Using a combination of trolling with shad raps and jigging with leeches in one to five feet of water, Nelson and Proudfoot
weighed a total of 29.77 pounds of walleyes and received a check for 
$ 5,133.70.

The third place team of Jim Hartman and Dan Sunne, both of Milbank, South
Dakota weighed 29.17 pounds of fish by jigging in two to seven feet of water
with leeches and minnows. They received a check for $3,703.70.

Wildlife Forever also presented a check for $1,430 to Citizens For Big Stone
Lake, a local conservation organization. The money will be used to reinforce
shoreline along the south end of the lake and prevent erosion.
