Dekalb, Lisch Blown Into Top Spot at FLW League on Winneconne
Wind. It's what mother nature threw at 99 boaters and co-anglers fishing the first stop in the Wisconsin division of the FLW League event on the Wolf River Chain. With solid winds all day long out of the west and gusts up to 35 mph, it made many anglers looking forward to a great bite during prefishing to absolute misery and two-thirds of the field dropping a goose egg for a finish.

The majority of anglers just went out today in hopes of catching a legal fish for points toward the championship and possible even a check. Well the combination of Gregory Dekalb and co-angler Luke Lisch did just that. They were able to put together one of six limits weighing 10lbs and 9ounces to claim the Wisconsin divisions top spot.

Second place went to Dan Stankevitz and co-angler Chris Kuehn earning them a combined check for $5250.00. Third place went to Kenneth Dage and John Osterloh. Fourth place went to Doug David and co-angler Jeff Truckenbrod, earning them a combined check for $4050.00. Rounding out the top five were Steven Wagner and co-angler Steve Keller who took home a combined $3000.00.

With no clear proven tactic doing any better than another, anglers did performed just about every spring trick they could to dream up to put fish in the boat. However, most fish still favored the infamous Wolf River Rig. With minutes to go and hoping for a desperation fish, third place boater Kenneth Dage and co-angler John Osterloh, fishing under the Winneconne bridge, were able to squeak out one fish weighing 7lbs and 14oz to capture big fish honors and nab a combined check for $4800.00

Toyota Pro Pat Neu, driving his 2008 Toyota Tundra, claimed the Toyota Walleye Reward money with his 12th place finish.

FLW Walleye League Coming to Winneconne
WINNECONNE, Wis. (April 15, 2008) - The Wal-Mart FLW Walleye League Wisconsin Division will stage its first tournament of the season April 26 on the Wolf River Chain in Winneconne, Wis. The tournament is expected to draw as many as 200 weekend walleye anglers to the area, with Boater Division competitors casting for a top award of as much as $7,500 and co-anglers in the hunt for a top award of as much as $3,750.

Anglers will take off from Winneconne Waterfront Park located on South First Street in Winneconne at 7 a.m., and the weigh-in will be held there beginning at 3 p.m. The community is invited to attend both the takeoff and weigh-in, which are free and open to the public.

The winning boater will earn as much as $7,000 cash for the win, and if the winner is a registered owner of a qualifying Ranger or G3 boat used during the event, the winner receives a $500 boat bonus for a top award of $7,500 cash. The winning co-angler will earn as much as $3,500, and if the winner is the registered owner of a qualifying Ranger or G3 boat, the winner will receive a $250 bonus for a top award of $3,750.

Boaters and co-anglers are randomly paired for the event and fish for a combined boat weight. Boaters compete against other boaters, and co-anglers compete against other co-anglers. Cash payouts extend through 20th place based on a full field of 100 boats.

Four FLW Walleye League divisions - Michigan, Minnesota, Heartland and Wisconsin - each feature three one-day events. Every angler who receives weight credit earns points, with 100 points awarded to the winner, 99 for second, 98 for third, and so on. These points determine angler standings.
