| What's at stake is a custom-designed WalleyeFIRST sweatshirt and other accessories to the person who can figure out this two-part question.
Part one: In a certain part of the walleye fishing universe, how would you define the term, IRONMAN ?
Part two: Figure out part 1 first. |

| Fish all PWT Regionals and SuperPros and all Tour FLW events, I have pre-fished with Todd on occassion and it is REALLY interesting to see as the tourney gets closer to see the "GAME FACE" come out. He is always ready to fish and has fished them all in last few years 45 majors since 2002 and more local tournaments not on the ranking scale. In additrion call him in the winter and chances are better than 50-50 he is ICE FISHING.

| See, it pays to keep a constant eye on WalleyeFIRST. Congrats on the win Jerry. However, the bigger question is ... why is this all important ? |

Slip bobbers

| Plautz and Crow have fished all events this year. If they are not entered in all upcoming events, how would one know. Where is the info that Crow is on the fence? I haven't talked to Mr. Bluegill lately, and he's the only one I know that has the inside scoop on Bobby.
BTW, I got my info from the WWR top 200 list.
Oh, and jerry, who ruled this past Saturday! HA! You were drooling after your 4th beer!

Location: Stevens Point, WI | Hey guys,
Bobby Crow will not be fishing all the regionals. He is scheduled to miss the Mobridge tournament in late July because his wife is expecting! Just thought I would fill you in Shep, so don't get too upset. |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | If, What the merckid says is true, Then he must be the winner, er... well... heck, who really knows. Does anyone really know who is fishing them all until the final tourney has been played out? They can drop from any tourney at any time for no apparent reason. For knowing this I must be the winner!! |

Not to be a know it all, but when you work for the PWT, you kinda know who's fishing what tournaments. I talked to Bobby last week at the Chamberlain tournament about it so just thought I would let you know. |

| Congrats to Jerry for correctly guessing the 2006 Ironman field. The Ironmen are embarking on what is the ultimate in walleye fishing, that is, competing in every pro-level event in all three circuits. The schedule alone is grueling and demanding.
WalleyeFIRST will be tracking the Ironmen thoughout the 2006 season, and eventually crowning the 2006 Ironman Champion, based upon event finishes using points assigned via the World Walleye Ranking formula. Stay tuned for more details.
The 2006 Ironman standings can be viewed here:
