KIRCHHOFF DISTRIBUTING WALLEYE CHALLENGE
DUBUQUE, IOWA
APRIL 20, 2008
The Walleye Anglers Trail kicked off its 2008 tournament season with the Kirchhoff Distributing Walleye Challenge at Dubuque, Iowa on April 20, 2008.
The conditions were less than ideal. The river was at flood stage with lots of floating debris and stained conditions. The tournament was delayed 4 hours due to intense foggy conditions. The teams were finally released at 11:00 AM with the weigh-in at 7:00 PM.
Thanks to our sponsor Happy Joe’s Pizza all competitors were provided pizza after the marathon day.
