Houghton, Michigan....In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail pro angler
Scott Glorvigen maintained his lead position at the Mercury Championship.
On Saturday, Sept. 18, he landed a PWT limit of four walleyes for 10 pounds,
and a combined two-day weight of 24.34 pounds.

    The Grand Rapids, Minn. pro fished slowly and played each tick on his
nightcrawler as a fish.  The walleyes were still ³off-bite² following a
severe cold front two days ago.   However, several anglers began piecing
together a game-plan that tightened the race.  Pro Gary Parsons, Glidden,
Wis., the only two-time PWT Angler of the Year, moved into second place,
about two and one-half pounds back.

    Pro Brad Davis, Jackson, Wis., and Jim Muzynoski, Bozeman, Mont., hold
third and fourth places, with 18 pounds each.  Past Championship winner
Keith Kavajecz, Kaukauna, Wis., is in fifth with 17.23 pounds.  The pros
entered the Michigan Tech MacInnes Ice Arena to the cheers of area walleye
fans.   ³The arena should be rockin¹ on Sunday afternoon,² said PWT
executive director Jim Kalkofen.  ³In addition to a great show, the first
1,000 youngsters will receive a free Shakespeare spinning or spincast rod
and reel.²  The show begins at 4 p.m.

    The Boat and Sport Show in the adjacent Gates Tennis Center (also free
to the public) opens at 10 a.m. Sunday.   A wide array of fishing gear and
boats will be on display and company reps will be on hand.

    Fishing the Keweenaw Waterway and Portage and Torch Lakes had the 52
competitors spread far and wide.  They fished for a daily four-fish limit,
with a 15-inch minimum.   The winner will net a $110,000 prize, and all
qualifiers earn at least $2,000.

    Big fish of the day was claimed by pro Rick Olson, Mina, SD, with a 5.88
pound walleye, the largest of the Mercury Championship.
