Location: Rhinelander | The weather has improved dramatically today as temps fell into the 40's and winds fell to near calm. Most of the AIM Pros we talked to are looking forward to a stellar bite because of the huge population of walleyes available; the key will be finding the right fish and getting the right bites. This area is perfectly suited for the AIM format due to the slot in place. The Pros will be able to CRR as many fish as they can for the two remaining days, and take advantage of the large numbers of mid to upper 20" class walleyes to hand in a tight 7 fish card each day. Watch for video and updates soon. WalleyeFIRST coverage of the AIM Fishing events is brought to you by Lund Boats and Mercury Outboards!

Location: Rhinelander | Sam Anderson leads! http://www.aimfishing.com/View-Article/5131/Anderson-Takes-Lead-at-... The cold front that moved through the area yesterday slowed the bite considerably for most of the field, but veteran Walleye Pro Sam Anderson apparently didn’t get the memo. Sam CRR’d a seven fish card for 57.75 pounds to take the lead. Sam has fished the area before, and actually felt he could have had a better weight if the fish were going as well as they were in practice. Mike Gofron is in second with 44.12, taking a run at the Angler of the Year for 2012. The AOY race is extremely tight, and will not be predicted, much less decided, until the end of the tournament tomorrow. If the bite turns back on as most of the Pros predicted on stage today, it’s going to be a shootout for the 2012 AIM Fishing Angler of the Year Title. Pro Rick Olson is in third by virtue of the biggest single fish ever caught in an AIM event, a 32.75” fish that added to a respectable balance of the seven on his AIM CRR Card for a total of 43.84. Rick said he was on a big school of fish, and expects the weights to skyrocket tomorrow as the water settles down from the huge winds yesterday. Justin Schneider is in fourth with 39.5 pounds, Ross Grothe has 38.63 to hold down fifth, Keith Kavajecz is in sixth, Jim Carroll in seventh, Mark Martin in eighth, Gary Parsons in ninth, and Gill Mollet rounds out the top ten. Expect the current leader board to scramble while the weights come in tomorrow if predictions from the stage today come true. Prefish weights well into the 60 and even 70 pound class were not uncommon during the week before the front that caused the cancellation of Day One. Reports are that it doesn’t really matter where one stops to fish on this part of LOTW, walleyes will be caught. It’s finding the truly big fish and getting the necessary bites converted to the net that will be key to taking home the Lund/Mercury first place package valued at $35,000.00 The 42 boat field will leave the landing tomorrow at 7:30 AM, and will weigh in at 5 PM tomorrow in downtown Baudette.
