HARTMAN AND SEVERSON WIN WAL-MART RCL WALLEYE
LEAGUE EVENT ON BIG STONE LAKE
CORONA, S.D. (June 14, 2004) – Boater Jim Hartman of Milbank and co-angler
Peggy Severson of Ft. Pierre combined for a total of five walleyes weighing
13 pounds, 2 ounces to win the Wal-Mart RCL Walleye League tournament held
Saturday on Big Stone Lake near Corona. Hartman claimed $1,120 plus a $500
contingency bonus for the win, with Dub earning $560 from the South Dakota
Division event.
Hartman and Severson caught their winning limit
in 6 feet of water on rock piles and weeds. They looked for cloudy water
and mostly casted Shad Raps. Their biggest walleye came on a black jig
with a minnow.
Finishing second were Tim Tesch of Watertown ($576)
and Larry Bawdon of Highmore ($288) with four walleyes weighing 10 pounds,
13 ounces. Brandon Finck of Milbank ($480 plus $300 bonus) and Jim Ellenbecker
of Pierre ($240 plus $150 bonus) caught three walleyes weighing 10 pounds,
7 ounces to finish third. Todd Steffensen of Watertown ($416 plus $250
bonus) and Dean Arndt of Ortonville, Min. ($208) claimed fourth place with
five walleyes that weighed 10 pounds, 1 ounce. Tied for fifth were the
teams of boater Scott Arndt of Ortonville, Min. ($264 plus $200 bonus)
and co-angler Douglas Chapman of Hills, Min. ($132 plus $100 bonus) and
boater Artie Arndt of Ortonville ($264) and co-angler Jerry Galloway of
Sioux Falls ($132 plus $100 bonus) with four-walleye catches that weighed
8 pounds, 2 ounces.
The South Dakota Division’s next stop will be the
regular-season finale – a two-day super tournament on July 17-18 on Lake
Oahe. Boaters and co-anglers who finish in the top 25 in final points standings
in each RCL Walleye League division will advance to the $100,000 RCL League
Finals Sept. 2-4 on Bays de Noc in Escanaba, Mich. The winning boater at
the finals will receive an Evinrude-or Yamaha-powered Ranger, Crestliner
or Lund boat. 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.
