Survey
Names Top Walleye Anglers
Brainerd, Minnesota......Which walleye pro anglers
would you most
enjoy fishing with? The top 10 named in a recent In-Fisherman
Professional
Walleye Trail (PWT) survey are household names in the walleye world.
"Survey respondents were touring PWT pro anglers
and fellow
competitors on the $2,000,000 tour. They know amateurs actually
get this
experience throughout the PWT season, but voted for those they'd want
to
fish with," said PWT executive director Jim Kalkofen. The PWT
Pro-Am format
matches amateurs with pros.
The question: Which PWT pros would you most
enjoy fishing with?
The top 10 answers: 1.
Mike Gofron, Antioch, Illinois
2. Pete Harsh, Sauk Centre, Minnesota
3. Gary Parsons, Glidden, Wisconsin
4. Tommy Skarlis, Walker, Minnesota
5. Keith Kavajecz, Kaukauna, Wisconsin
6. Mark Brumbaugh, Arcanum, Ohio
7. Ron Seelhoff, Burlington, Colorado
8. Kim Papineau, Escanaba, Michigan
9. Ted Takasaki, Brainerd, Minnesota
10. Mark Martin, Twin Lake, Michigan
The next two PWT tournaments, one in Dunkirk, NY,
July 9-11; and the
other in Mobridge, SD, July 30-Aug. 1, both have amateur openings,
and all
10 pro anglers listed above will be fishing. Amateurs fish three
days at
each PWT tournament. They fish in the pro's boat and use the
pro's tackle
and gear. The fish they catch together count for both in the
"boat-weight"
format. To fish Lake Erie or Lake Oahe, call PWT at 218-829-0620,
or down
load and submit entry blanks from the PWT web site:
www.professionalwalleyetrail.com.
Lake Erie is traditionally a troller's paradise,
and a second survey
question determined the world's top 10 walleye trollers. The
question: Who
are the top PWT pro anglers at trolling?
The top 10 answers:
1. Ron Seelhoff, Burlington, Colorado
2. Gary Parsons, Glidden, Wisconsin
3. Keith Kavajecz, Kaukauna, Wisconsin
4. Mark Brumbaugh, Arcanum, Ohio
5. Gary Gray, Oshkosh, Wisconsin
6. Tommy Skarlis, Walker, Minnesota
7. Tom Backer, Fargo, North Dakota
8. Kim Papineau, Escanaba, Michigan
9. Mark Martin, Twin Lake, Michigan
10. Jeff Taege, Rhinelander, Wisconsin
All but Jeff Taege will fish the Lake Erie and Lake
Oahe tournaments.
Another Taege entered the fishing world this summer, keeping him at
home.
"An amateur told me about a trolling a day with Ron
Seelhoff,"
Kalkofen said. The amateur said, "I thought I knew how to troll,
until I
spent a day doing it Ron's way. What an education! Money
can't buy this
experience; fishing as a PWT amateur is the only way to learn."
The Lake Erie event at Dunkirk takes place at Chadwick
Bay Marina on
the city lake front. In South Dakota, the Lake Oahe tournament
will
kick-off from The Bay, with launching at Indian Memorial ramps.
