Please scroll down to see the full final results

93 boats went out on to the Mississippi this morning under cloudy skies. The temps this morning were right at 70 degrees, and are supposed to reach 87 this afternoon with a chance for a thunderstorm.

Most of the anglers we talked to are optimistic about the bite at least remaining as good as yesterday. The key is getting a kicker fish or two in the limit of 5, and the possibility of someone getting a 30 pound plus limit is actually expected by some of the field.

The weigh in starts at 3 PM. Watch for Facebook Live feeds from the WalleyeFIRST crew on the WalleyeFIRST Facebook page.

Pro Mark Courts took home over $83,000.00 in cash and prizes at the Prairie du Chien NWT this afternoon, beating John Hoyer by just a bit over 1 pound. Mark had his fish before noon, and waited almost 5 hours too weigh in and confirm the win.

He was fishing Berkley crank baits and Willow Cats for the win. In third behind Hoyer is Maury Schmerbach, a perennial threat on the river. Fourth was taken by Bruce 'Doc' Samson, and rounding out the top 5 was Randy Hummel.

Doc Samson fished with Co Angler champ James Richardson, who at 73 was fishing his first walleye tournament. At 68 and 73, Doc said they represented over 70 years fishing between them, undoubtedly an NWT first.
