  • PWT Crowns Scott Glorvigen 2004 Mercury Champion at Houghton, MI

        Houghton, Michigan....Walleye pro angler Scott Glorvigen won the 2004
    In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail Mercury Championship.  The Grand
    Rapids, Minn. pro led wire-to-wire, and ended with 32.20 pounds.  He limited
    with four walleyes each day to win the $113,000 first prize.  This brings
    his PWT winnings this year to $139,000, and he is the only angler to win
    money in every tournament this season.

        Glorvigen fished slow with light line, light weights, small hooks and
    nightcrawlers.  ³Each time a walleye picked it up, it felt like dead weight;
    I gave it line, and set the hook.  This Championship win is a great
    feeling,² he said.  His first place finish included a Lund/Mercury 20-foot
    walleye boat, $75,000 cash, a diamond and gold ring from Richardson Jewelers
    and a mud flap from Kwik-Pfyt.

        Pushing Glorvigen in a hard charge was pro Gary Parsons, Glidden, Wis.
    He scored a 6.66 pound walleye, the second largest of the tournament, to
    nearly eclipse Glorvigen.  Parsons finished second with 30.90 pounds, and
    won a $44,000 prize.   Bozeman, Montana pro Jim Muzynoski claimed a $34,000
    third place Lund/Mercury walleye boat prize.  He weighed 27.19 pounds.

        Muzynoski praised the fishery, saying, ³The catch this week doesn¹t even
    come close to what I¹ve seen out there.  In addition to the big walleyes
    that kept their mouths closed the past three days, the pike and smallmouth
    fishing is out of this world.²  The Mercury Championship contestants fished
    the Keweenaw Waterway in Michigan¹s scenic Upper Peninsula.  Several anglers
    told the cheering fans they would be back this fall.

        The Gander Mountain $1,000 Heavyweight award (14.09 pounds) went to
    Glorvigen.  Last year¹s Mercury Champion Dan Plautz, Muskego, Wis., won the
    Coleman Cool Under Pressure $1,000 award for advancing 30 places.  The
    largest walleye of the tournament went to Mike Gofron, Antioch, Ill., with a
    7.03-pounder.  He won an extra $2,500.

        Year-end honors for Glorvigen included the Optima Top Gun $5,000 award
    for consistency, the highest place average and the Championship victory.
    The Realtree Sportsman of the Year $500 honors, voted by the Championship
    contestants went to Ohio pro angler Mark Brumbaugh.  The Norb Wallock
    Memorial Teaching Award of $500, named to honor the late Norb Wallock who
    died of cancer two years ago went to pro Bruce Samson, Minnetrista, Minn.
    The Dee Zee VIP award (Very Impressive Pro) of $2,000 went to Ron Gazvoda.
    He ranked second in the Angler of the Year standings, up from 36 last
    season.  

        The Mercury Championship and the entire PWT season will be featured in a
    13-week TV series on the Outdoor Channel, starting the last week of
    September.  Shows will air Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings.  PWT
    action will also be covered extensively in the Walleye In-Sider magazine and
    on www.professionalwalleyetrail.
