Glasgow, MT . .

Backer is being closely pursued by 3-time PWT winner Chad Hall, Algona, Iowa, with 37.81 pounds. Both Backer and Hall are running spinners and crawlers behind bottom bouncers in less than 14 feet of water. Backer added a twist to his pattern by pitching #7 and #8  Shad Raps at the shore line. Two of his 6-fish PWT limit came on Shad Raps.
Holding third with 36.68 pounds is one of the only crankbait trollers, John Gross, Racine, WI. He’s running Storm Thundersticks in 8 to 14 feet of water near weeds. The leading amateur after two days is Dean Miller, Stevens Point, WI, with 50.74 pounds. He was with Backer on day two and won the Flambeau TS2000 Tackle Storage System for the heaviest daily weight.
The Bass Pro Shops largest walleye on day two weighed 10.49 pounds for amateur Arlen Wendt, Coon Rapids, MN. He won $1,850. Amateur John Janousek, Hutchinson, MN, landed a 10.16-pounder for $1,200. Pro Backer’s big catch was anchored with a 10.15 pound walleye. It was worth $825. Pro Mark Martin’s 8.95 pound walleye paid $750 for fourth. Pros and amateurs have one more day to claim the $25,000 Pinnacle Rods and Reels Bounty for a walleye breaking the 12.12 pound PWT record.
  Chad Hall and amateur paretner Jon Janousek with a fine 10.16 lb walleye taken on a day when the walleyes were not hitting for everyone.

He also won the coveted In-Fisherman Angler of the Year title. The PWT big fish record was also broken.
Fairbairn fished against the best walleye anglers in North America in the July 22 - 24 Champion Boats Western Pro-Am on Montana’s Fort Peck Reservoir. Finishing second and collecting $15,000 was pro Tom Backer, Fargo, ND, with 52.84 pounds.
The third place $10,000 prize went to pro Mike Gofron, Antioch, IL, with 46.93 pounds. The winning amateur, Dean Miller, Stevens Point, WI, fished with pros Backer,  Jimmy Klick, White Bear Lake, MN, and Tom Huddleson, Corcoran, MN. Miller won $12,500, and intends to compete as a PWT pro on the 1999 expanded tour. Amateurs fish with pros for a combined 6-fish boat weight.
Fairbairn, like most pros ran spinners and crawlers behind bottom bouncers. He located his fish on rocky points west of the popular fishing area known as the Pines. He concentrated on running his spinners from 12 feet, up and over the tops of the points.
Fairbairn, as Angler of the Year, will lead the elite 40-angler field at the /Dodge Championship in Bismarck, ND, September 17 - 19. The Angler of the Year award paid $10,000.

It exceeded the 1994 PWT record set by Reggie Thiel, Walker, MN, by 7/100ths of a pound. It was 32 3/4 inches with a 16 inch girth. Hook’s record was worth a $25,000 bounty from Pinnacle Rods and Reels.

Hook is also a taxidermist, and will mount the monster, which he caught on a #6  lime green spinner and crawler. He also won the Bass Pro Shops daily and overall big fish for $2,350 plus a graphite replica of his trophy.
