Kvalevog Wins Wal-Mart FLW Walleye League MN Division Event on Cass Lake
CASS LAKE, Minn. (June 9, 2008) - Toby Kvalevog of Brainerd, Minn., caught five walleyes that weighed 15 pounds, 9 ounces and earned $5,460 Saturday as winner of the Wal-Mart FLW Walleye League Minnesota Division event on Cass Lake. The victory placed Kvalevog one step closer to qualifying for the Walleye League Finals on the Mississippi River in Winona, Minn., Sept. 11-13. Kvalevog's co-angler, Brian Swanson of Osceola, Wis., earned $2,730 for the win.

Rounding out the top five are Reggie Thiel of Laporte, Minn., who earned $2,730 plus $400 contingency bonus, and co-angler Greg Oppegard of West St. Paul, Minn., who earned $1,365 (five walleyes, 14 pounds, 7 ounces) ; Jerry Hein of Stillwater, Minn., who earned $2,340 plus $300 contingency bonus, and co-angler Jeff Meyer of Winnipeg, Manitoba., who earned $1,170 (four walleyes, 13 pounds, 5 ounces) ; Alan Sholts of Alexandria, Minn., who earned $1,950 plus $300 contingency bonus, and co-angler Julian Jones of Elk River, Minn., who earned $975 (five walleyes, 13 pounds, 2 ounces) and Jim Peters of Hastings, Minn., who earned $1,560 and co-angler Chris Tuckner of Hastings, Minn., who earned $780 (four walleyes, 12 pounds, 8 ounces).

Four FLW Walleye League divisions - Michigan, Minnesota, Heartland and Wisconsin - each feature three one-day events. Every angler who receives weight credit earns points, with 100 points awarded to the winner, 99 for second, 98 for third, and so on. These points determine angler standings.

The top 30 boaters and top 30 co-anglers from each FLW Walleye League division at the end of the season advance to the $133,400 Wal-Mart FLW Walleye League Finals set for Sept. 11-13 on the Mississippi River in Winona, Minn. The boater and co-angler point's champions from each division also advance to the $650,000 no-entry-fee Wal-Mart FLW Walleye Tour Championship in Bismarck, N.D., Sept. 24-27 for a chance to compete for as much as $150,000 in the Pro Division and $20,000 in the Co-angler Division. Anglers finishing the season in the top 10 in each division also receive priority entry into the Wal-Mart FLW Walleye Tour for 2009.

Minnesota Division anglers will visit Lake Bemidji in Bemidji, Minn., July 19 for their third and final regular-season event.
