Scott Glorvigen Holds Top Spot in Mercury Championship after 2 Days
Houghton, Michigan....In-Fisherman Professional Walleye
Trail pro angler
Scott Glorvigen maintained his lead position at the Mercury Championship.
On Saturday, Sept. 18, he landed a PWT limit of four walleyes for 10
pounds,
and a combined two-day weight of 24.34 pounds.
The Grand Rapids, Minn. pro fished slowly and played
each tick on his
nightcrawler as a fish. The walleyes were still ³off-bite²
following a
severe cold front two days ago. However, several anglers
began piecing
together a game-plan that tightened the race. Pro Gary Parsons,
Glidden,
Wis., the only two-time PWT Angler of the Year, moved into second place,
about two and one-half pounds back.
Pro Brad Davis, Jackson, Wis., and Jim Muzynoski,
Bozeman, Mont., hold
third and fourth places, with 18 pounds each. Past Championship
winner
Keith Kavajecz, Kaukauna, Wis., is in fifth with 17.23 pounds.
The pros
entered the Michigan Tech MacInnes Ice Arena to the cheers of area
walleye
fans. ³The arena should be rockin¹ on Sunday
afternoon,² said PWT
executive director Jim Kalkofen. ³In addition to a great
show, the first
1,000 youngsters will receive a free Shakespeare spinning or spincast
rod
and reel.² The show begins at 4 p.m.
The Boat and Sport Show in the adjacent Gates Tennis
Center (also free
to the public) opens at 10 a.m. Sunday. A wide array of
fishing gear and
boats will be on display and company reps will be on hand.
Fishing the Keweenaw Waterway and Portage and Torch
Lakes had the 52
competitors spread far and wide. They fished for a daily four-fish
limit,
with a 15-inch minimum. The winner will net a $110,000
prize, and all
qualifiers earn at least $2,000.
Big fish of the day was claimed by pro Rick Olson,
Mina, SD, with a 5.88
pound walleye, the largest of the Mercury Championship.
