For Immediate Release:

        Charlie Moore Named 
        PWT Tournament Director 

    Charlie Moore takes over the In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail
(PWT) tournament director's reigns this year.  Moving from Pierre, South
Dakota to Brainerd, Minnesota, home of the PWT, he brings a wealth of
experience to the demanding job.

    The PWT enters its 14th tour with six Pro-Am qualifying tournaments
plus a season-ending Championship.  More than $12,000,000 has been awarded
to winners. The top pro will collect $50,000 at each tournament ($100,000 at
the Championship) this season and the first place amateur tows home a Lund
boat and a Mercury outboard on an Eagle trailer.  

    Moore has an intimate knowledge of the professional anglers (he will
manage 150 to 170 pros at each site plus an equal number of amateurs) and
the competitive challenges they face.  His duties of working closely with
National Professional Anglers Association (NPAA) members and the board of
directors prepared him for the tournament director's position.  During his
two-year tenure as executive director, 2000--2002, he implemented numerous
programs including the "Member's Only" program, wrote and edited
newsletters, redesigned the web site, helped pros enhance their collective
images, built the NPAA organization's membership and financial stability,
communicated directly with fisheries departments and handled sponsorship
sales.

    He said, "I bring a good understanding of the professional
fisherman's perspective of the marine and tackle industry to this job."  In
addition to the NPAA experience, Moore was an instructor at In-Fisherman's
Camp Fish for eight summers.  He managed a large guide service and fly
fishing shop in Arizona for two years.  He was  sports director of a South
Dakota radio station and announced hundreds of sporting events over a five
year span.  He has appeared in dozens of fishing and hunting TV shows.
Moore has also guided for trout, bass, walleyes, pheasants, grouse and
waterfowl.  He is also a walleye tournament angler and a 9-time winner on
the bass tournament trail.

    PWT executive director Jim Kalkofen said, "It will be exciting
working with Charlie.  I've known him for many years, worked with him at
several PWT Championships, fished with him, and as recently as this past
January, presented the "Tournament Story" to the South Dakota statewide
warden force."

    The PWT season begins 2002 with a new record.  More pro anglers have
applied to fish the tour than ever before in history.  Pro anglers will be
competing for money, glory and a slot in the PWT Championship.  "They will
also be fishing under the watchful eye of Charlie Moore, their new
tournament director," Kalkofen said.  Of course, more pros means more
opportunities for amateurs, and openings still exist.  Amateurs may call PWT
