Best Walleye Seminar Presenters to
Fish PWT on Bay de Noc, Aug. 22-24
Brainerd, Minnesota.....The world's best walleye
anglers conduct
thousands of seminars every year. Who teaches best? The
top seminar
presenters were named by the In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail
(PWT)
touring pros.
Gary Parsons captured the top spot in the survey.
The Glidden, Wis.
pro makes his living fishing. He conducts more than 50 seminars
annually,
most at major sport shows. This season already, he scored his
third PWT
victory on Lake Oahe. In his illustrious career, Parsons cashed
checks in
51 of 79 PWT tournaments fished, and ranks third on the all-time money
winning list with more than $330,000 to his credit. Of the tournaments
where he cashed checks, he placed 20th or better 70 percent of the
time. He
is the only 2-time PWT Angler of the Year.
"More than any of my multi-media seminars during
show season, I like
teaching in the boat during PWT tournaments," he said. These
are Pro-Am
events, and each day a new amateur is drawn into Parsons' boat.
"We start
the day getting to know each other. I explain the tactic we'll
begin with,
and the reasons why this is the best presentation. Of course,
we go over
the safety operations, but concentrate on fishing. When I hit
the throttle
at 7 a.m. that's when the instructional period really becomes meaningful,"
he said.

All PWT pros are available to walleye fans who want
to fish with
them. At each tournament, like the upcoming Escanaba, Mich.,
Lowrance/Lund
North Central Pro-Am Aug. 22-24, amateurs will learn from the pros.
Most
pros named on this list will fish in Escanaba. They represent
16 tournament
wins, four Anglers of the Year, and have won more than $1,900,000 on
tour.
Escanaba, home of legendary walleye waters Little Bay de Noc and Big
Bay de
Noc, is the final stop prior to the Mercury Championship, where a very
big
payday waits. For instance, if the Michigan state record walleye,
17-3
pounds, is broken during the Sept. 12-14 competition in Houghton, the
PWT
record-setting pro will earn a $1,000,000 prize from Quantum Performance
tuned rods and reels.
The anglers who are at the top of the Angler of the
Year standings
know another fishing milestone is within reach. The Mercury Marine
$250,000
bonus is on the table. If the Angler of the Year also wins the
Championship, the extra quarter-million dollars will be paid.
The Angler of
the Year leaders (Keith Kavajecz in first; John Bergsma in second;
Bill
Ortiz in third; Gary Parsons in fourth; and Todd Riley in fifth) are
all
Mercury owners and eligible, as are many other walleye pro anglers
just a
few points behind. Anglers of the Year have won Championships,
just not in
the same season. Will it happen in Houghton? The tournament
pros want it,
and Mercury will gladly pay it.
