Location: Berlin | Welcome all to the first annual Boat Doc Walleye Invitational run by Bago Walleye Club. We are at 61 boats which is great for the first tournament of the year! This means any original owner of a 2010-2012 Triton boat with a 150hp to 250hp motor will win an extra $1000 to $7000 if they win the tournament and are signed up for Triton gold! This is on top of the regular tournament payout. Thank you Triton boats!
Our board members have worked really hard in putting everything together this year. We have a bunch of sponsors that we would like to thank: Triton boats, Mercury Marine, The Boat Doc, Sargento cheese, Johnsonville sausage, Critters sports shop, Kiel Bait and Gun, Wendts on the lake supper club, Blanks Lake Aire supper club, Fat Boys bar and grill, Woodeys bar and grill & Altitude roofing.
We would like you all to know who is on the BWC board so you feel comfortable with this event and if you have any questions please ask one of us. Sean Freund (President), Greg Karch, Justin Krueger, Richard Stadler, Larry Strelow, Wayne Horn, Gordy Schwarz, and Josh Wiesner
We have a lot of prizes to give away after the tournament so please stick around even if you didn't catch any fish. You must be present to win any of the prizes.
This tournament circuit is meant to be competitive but at the same time we want it to be fun for everyone. We are new at running this event and encourage any comments you may have to help us run this event better. We are not perfect but have all been fishing tournaments for a long time and know the good things to do and bad things to stay away from. We want to keep this event as simple as possible and with your help this should be easy to do! The board members will be going out last in the first flight for all 4 events. They are required to be back 30 minutes before the first flight to get ready for weigh-in. The 1st boat (non-board member) will be measuring and weighing the board members fish.

Location: Berlin | Being this is our first time I am not sure. I think we have it covered. This will be a learning experience but I am sure people understand and will be patient with us. We will analyze our weigh-in proceedure after this event and make corrections as needed. After that we might be looking for volunteers for the 2nd event.
One of my big worries is that we have an unbelievable amount of "out of the money" and door prizes to give away it will take a LONG time. |

| WOW, had I know the who was on the Board of Directors prior to this I would have probably tossed my hat on the ring; those names bring a bunch of credibility to the entire thing. |

| Personally, I really like the Bago Walleye Club logo. Someone very talented must have come up with it. 
See you guys on Sunday. I'm looking forward to a good time. Now if I could just find the right sized fish... |

Location: Berlin | Mark, you did almost as good fishing as you did with the logo. Congrats on 3rd! The weights brought in were very impressive. Around 24.5lbs won it and it took 16.57lbs to cash a check. We will be releasing a follow up this week with the details.

| It was a good day out there for just about everyone. I can't believe the number of big fish being caught right now. It's pretty bad sitting out there at 1:30pm with 20lbs in the well and thinking, we need to find some big fish if we want a chance to win. Get out there and enjoy it guys, it's a lot of fun.
Thanks to Bago Walleye Club for a great tournament. I thought things went very well. Next one is coming up soon, you guys should get in if you can. Good people and good payout. |

Location: Darboy USA | What was the hot tactic, trolling or fishing rocks? I assume most of the bigger fish were caught on the west side? We've been doing well on the east shore, but nothing more than the 2-3# fish that seem to be all over the system! |

Location: Berlin | Big weights came from trolling harnesses, fishing rocks, weeds and the river. Pretty much everything is producing big fish right now.

| Was nice to have almost a full field for the tourney and the system is absolutely on fire right now. Normally, 10-12 lbs. is a respectable weight on the Winnebago system and has a chance to put you in the money in most tournaments, but my partner and I figured we had 16-17 lbs. in the well and I was thinking we might not cash a check! (ended up being 17.23 and in 9th place so barely cashed a check) The bite is good all over and as Rich said, it is not one thing producing the big fish. It was fun watching Rich whine like a little girl when he realized the river bite was on and he missed out on it!  Good luck to all participants in the June 3rd tourney! Looking forward to it.

| I know Rich likes to fish the river and missed out on the river bite. But you all know Rich is famous for trolling wax worms on the west end of Poygan. He has mastered that pattern from what I gather.
Me...I just can't get that pattern to go. Ha!
Good to see you again Rich..well run tourney. Hats off to all the folks to make it that way!!

Location: Berlin | It was great seeing you again Dave. We had a good 16-18lb program working and it is tuff to ignore that but I guess this year you aint crap unless you got at least 20lbs. What a year!
Aaron, I guess you guys proved that old saying about the squirrel finding a nut to be true. Enjoy this once in a lifetime accomplishment :D
I want to put out a special thanks to all those that emailed and called us. It means a lot and I just wanted to say thanks. We are not perfect but will continue to try and make this circuit the best it can be. |
