Local Angler and PWT Pro Mark Christianson
Takes Cass Lake Lead
June 3. 2004
Cass Lake, Minnesota.....Touring In-Fisherman Professional
Walleye Trail
(PWT) pro angler Mark Christianson, Walker, Minn., added 16 pounds
on day
two of the Lund Pro-Am to take the lead. His 35 pound total is
one-half
pound better than day one leader Dave Anderson, Apple Valley, Minn.
In a solid move to third, rookie pro Dan Swanson,
Fort Collins, Col.,
doubled his weight to 32.30 pounds. Amateur Jim Sacket, Bemidji,
Minn.,
leads the amateur division. He fished with pro Scott Hauge, Dellwood,
Minn.
on day two, and they landed the $1,000 big fish of the day, 6.67 pounds.
Christianson is in his third PWT season. In
2002, as a rookie, he
notched a seventh. Last season, he cashed three checks in four
events and
made the Mercury Championship. If he holds the lead and wins
tomorrow, he
will automatically qualify for the Championship. He will also
win $64,000.
Many anglers are rigging chubs and shiners on steep
sand breaks on Cass
Lake and the many adjoining lakes and bays. Under calm conditions
for the
second day in a row, boat control was relatively easy, and several
anglers
concentrated on fish they saw on their Lowrance Electronics.
They fished
them carefully and after dangling minnows in front of them, the walleye
couldn¹t resist.
The PWT limit was set at five walleyes per Pro-Am
partnership per day.
Through two days, 30 anglers caught limits both days, and about 400
walleyes
were weighed each day by the limited field of 120 boats. Pros
are invited
to fish based on performance, ethics, teaching ability and time on
the
water. Each boat has averaged slightly less than one walleye
per hour.
These are fish in excess of 15 inches, but anglers are catching many
of the
younger year-classes, which show a great future fishery coming through
the
system.
The third and final day, Friday, June 4, will seed
the top 40 pros and
top 40 amateurs, who will all receive cash and merchandise prizes totaling
about $300,000.
The weigh-in ceremonies take place at Stony Point Resort, about a mile
east
of the village of Cass Lake on Highway 2. Pros will share their
fishing
secrets, spots and tactics.
