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.

Ninety-nine boats, one boat shy of a full field, left this morning from the Green Bay Metro boat launch in search of what Green Bay is known for, and that's BIG FISH. With a severe front looking to push through the area by mid afternoon, some struggled to fish where they wanted but others looked to play hero running as far as Green Island up by the Menominee River near Marinette.
Others like Paul DeVoss and Steve Keller chose to stay close to home to do their damage with a weight of 32lbs and 13 ounces to claim first place and a combined check for $10,895.00.
Almost the entire field trolled crawler harnesses, the summer standard on the Bay of Green Bay. Catching fish wasn't issue, but what to keep and when to keep it. Many struggled adding smaller fish to their limit because in hindsight, anglers know what Green Bay can kick out.
