Member Posts: 1382 | The weather is cooperating today with West to Southwest winds this morning, warm temps, and a forecast looking for a possible shower. The entire field was on their way by 8:18 AM, broadcasting across the big lake in all directions. Al Sholts was fired up as he could be as he and his Co Angler idled out of Hunter Point's Marina while an In Fisherman Cameraman prepared his microphone for the day's filming. It's any body's game today, but if Al can repeat yesterday's weight, he will be hard to catch. Al has a long history in Walleye tournament fishing going back to the early days of the MWC, so he's no stranger to heading out on the water in contention for the win. The weigh-in will begin about 4 PM Central. Stay with us at WalleyeFIRST for full afternoon coverage and the interactive Leader Board!

Member Posts: 1382 | The bite was a bit off from yesterday as the winds died and sun appeared. There were still a good number of limits, but only a couple fish over the slot came to the scales. Al Sholts holds the lead going into the final day by three pounds, a pretty good lead for this system considering the slot. 'I fish this system quite a bit', Al told WalleyeFIRST during a taped interview tonight, 'and I've caught TWO fish over the last 6 years over 28". One was day before yesterday!' he went on to say he intends to hunt his slot fish, and stay with the same program with no changes. Watch for morning coverage to begin around 9 AM, and the final weigh in at 4 PM Central. Here's the standings... 110 1 ALAN SHOLTS 16.48 [5] 10.30 [5] 0.00 [0] 26.78 41 2 TOM BACKER 14.77 [5] 9.75 [5] 0.00 [0] 24.52 100 3 STEVE BRANDT 14.05 [5] 9.49 [5] 0.00 [0] 23.54 12 4 MARK COURTS 14.96 [5] 8.27 [5] 0.00 [0] 23.23 68 5 ROBERT HEAFORD 14.50 [5] 8.72 [5] 0.00 [0] 23.22 99 6 GEOFF BRADT 9.07 [5] 12.98 [5] 0.00 [0] 22.05 113 7 KEVIN MCQUOID 13.65 [5] 8.38 [5] 0.00 [0] 22.03 24 8 BILL ORTIZ 14.12 [5] 7.71 [5] 0.00 [0] 21.83 50 9 DEAN NATHE 7.92 [5] 13.43 [5] 0.00 [0] 21.35 115 10 MIKE ABRAHAMSON 14.00 [5] 6.50 [4] 0.00 [0] 20.50 ONE big fish....

Member Posts: 617 Location: Oshkosh, Wisconsin | Is it me, or does the fish that in the 3rd pic up (yar-craft pro) look rather thin? | ||

That is the way all the fish over 28 inches look in mille lacs. Alot of them only weigh 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 pounds. Last year the PWT has a 29 incher that weighed just under six. Just not alot of forage base for big fish in the system right now. Skinny man | |||

Member Posts: 538 | It was interesting how the over 28s came in relatively light. We caught lots of 22s thru 27 1/2 and they all were healthy, solid fish that would weigh well for their size. On the low end, the 15s to 20 generally were thin for their size. Bagos fish are much chunkier for their size. Another interesting situation is that all you catch are walleyes on that lake, with an occasional agressive perch. There are no junk fish in that lake. If you mark a fish it is a walleye or possible Musky. Imagine spending three days on Bago and never catching a sheep or WBass! It is an incredible fishery. Take care, Jim O | ||
