Location: Rhinelander | The bite soured for some on the final day with fickle winds and changing weather, including Day Two Leader Ron Gazvoda, but Jason Feldner stayed on plan and worked through his fish to weigh 21.42 and take the win by over 5 pounds. See the Day two video for a complete description of the tactics Jason used for the win. See that clip here:

Princecraft Pro Ron Gazvoda, a past PWT Event Champ and quiet competitor, said he was feeling the pressure a bit, and actually would have been more comfortable with starting the Final Day in a lower position. " I'm not used to all the cameras," he said, " but I'm happy with the finish. It looks like I fished today for second place."
This was an incredible bite by any measure, with some Pros catching over 50 walleyes a day. The trick was to lock on some big girls, stay on them, and get them in the boat.
See the WalleyeFIRST Leaderboard for the final placements.
A special note to a long lost and totally by chance 'found' friend:
Doug Coley took 21st at this, his second Pro event. Doug's Dad, Buel Coley, was for years my Dad's favorite fishing partner, a true fishing pioneer and outdoorsman, and was an inspiration to me when I was quite young. Way to go, Doug, I promise he's proud.

| Do you think Jason was a bit excited? Congrats to him on a big win on his home waters. Timing for this event couldn't have been better. I suspect the pro circuit promoters heve this kind of bite in mind for every event scheduled.
Steve, glad you hooked up with a lost friend. No get back here, and let's pick out a boat color! | |
