SAGINAW BAY TO HOST WAL-MART RCL WALLEYE LEAGUE
SUPER TOURNAMENT
LINWOOD, Mich. (July 18, 2003) – The Wal-Mart RCL Walleye League Michigan
Division will wrap up its regular season Aug. 2-3 for a $25,985 two-day
Super Tournament on Saginaw Bay near Linwood. As many as 150 boaters and
co-anglers are expected to compete in the event.
Competitors will take off both mornings from Hoyles
Marina at 7 a.m., and Saturday’s weigh-in will also be held there beginning
at 3 p.m. Following Saturday’s competition, the field will be cut to the
top 15 boaters and co-anglers, and Sunday’s weigh-in will be held at the
Wal-Mart store located at 3921 Wilder Road in Bay City beginning at 4 p.m.
Boater Division anglers will compete for a top award
of as much as $3,500 cash plus a $750 cash bonus if they are the registered
owner of a Ranger, Crestliner or Lund boat that is used during the event.
The winning boater is also eligible for an additional $1,000 bonus from
Garmin if he uses a fixed-mount Garmin Fishfinder or combination GPS/sounder
for a top pro award worth $5,250. The winning co-angler will receive as
much as $1,500 cash plus a $375 bonus if they are the registered owner
of a Ranger, Crestliner or Lund boat for a top co-angler award of $1,875.
In Wal-Mart RCL Walleye League competition, boaters
and co-anglers are randomly paired and fish together for a combined boat
weight, with boaters competing against other boaters and co-anglers competing
against other co-anglers. Seventy-five boaters and 75 co-anglers comprise
a full field. Every angler who receives weight credit in a tournament earns
points, with 200 points awarded to the winner, 199 points for second, and
so on, except for Super Tournaments, which award 300 points to the winner,
298 to second, and so on.
Boaters and co-anglers who finish in the top 25
in final points standings in each RCL Walleye League division will advance
to the $88,000 RCL League Finals Sept. 6-7 on Lake Okoboji in Spirit Lake,
Iowa. The winning boater at the finals will receive an Evinrude-or Yamaha-powered
Ranger, Crestliner or Lund boat.
The success of the $3.07 million Wal-Mart RCL Walleye
Tour, featuring the world’s best walleye anglers and most lucrative payouts,
resulted in high demand for weekend walleye tournaments designed for working
anglers. Thus began the Wal-Mart RCL Walleye League, which comprises four
divisions – Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota and Wisconsin – with three
regular-season events each. Two of the events are one-day tournaments featuring
a $20,530 payout followed by a two-day Super Tournament featuring a $25,985
payout.
