FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Wal-Mart RCL Walleye Circuit to Visit La Crosse
Gilbertsville, Ky., (April 23, 2001) - The new $2.9 million Wal-Mart
RCL
Walleye Circuit will be making a stop on the Mississippi River in La
Crosse,
Wis., May 9-12 when some of the country's best walleye anglers visit
the
area for a shot at winning $85,000 in cash and prizes.
Named after retail giant Wal-Mart and boat manufacturers Ranger, Crestliner
and Lund, the Wal-Mart RCL Walleye Circuit is the world's most lucrative
walleye fishing series. Last month pro Jim Klick of White Bear Lake,
Minn.,
won the series' first tournament in Port Clinton, Ohio, and pocketed
more
than $85,000 in cash and prizes while his partner, co-angler Cecil
Newman of
River Rouge, Mich., reeled in $15,000 cash.
Each of the circuit's four regular season tournaments features a cash
purse
of $390,750, and the year-end Wal-Mart RCL Walleye Championship features
a
cash purse of $1.4 million with top awards of up to $400,000 in the
Pro
Division and $150,000 in the Co-Angler Division.
Two hundred pros and 200 co-anglers from the Wal-Mart RCL Walleye Circuit
and other sanctioned tournament organizations and events will compete
in the
championship, which will be held on the Fox River and Green Bay in
Green
Bay, Wis., Oct. 2-6. Green Bay hosted the inaugural Wal-Mart RCL
Championship last year when Scott Glorvigen of Grand Rapids, Minn.,
won
$300,000 and instantly joined the sport's top all-time money winners.
"We have one terrific tournament under our belt and we are looking forward
to a great event in La Crosse," said RCL tournament director Sonny
Reynolds.
"The Mississippi River is an excellent fishery, and the area has a
rich
tradition of walleye fishing. Those are the key ingredients for another
exciting tournament."
Up to 175 Ranger, Crestliner and Lund boat owners will fill the Pro
Division
in La Crosse while 175 co-angler berths are open to the public. Anglers
in
both divisions will fish in three elimination rounds. After the two-day
opening round, the field will be cut to the top 60 pros and top 60
co-anglers who will advance to the one-day semifinal round. The top
12 pros
and top 12 co-anglers after the semifinal round will move on to the
final
day of competition. Catch weights carry over for the first two days,
but
anglers will start the semifinal and final rounds from zero.
Weigh-ins during the first three days competition will be held at the
Best
Western Midway in La Crosse starting at 3 p.m. each day. The final
weigh-in
May 12 will be held at the Wal-Mart located at 1210 Crossing Meadows
Drive
in Onalaska at 3 p.m. Take off will be at 7 a.m. each day at the Northside
Ramp on Logan Street in La Crosse.
The third Wal-Mart RCL Walleye tournament will be held on Saginaw Bay
in Bay
City, Mich., June 13-16 followed by an event on Devils Lake in Devils
Lake,
N.D., Sept. 5-8. Entry fees for regular season tournaments are $1,250
for
pros and $500 for co-anglers.
Nationwide there are an estimated 4 million walleye anglers according
to the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Walleye, in fact, is the most sought
after
species of fish by U.S. anglers fishing the Great Lakes.
Sponsors of the 2001 Wal-Mart RCL Walleye Circuit are Coleman, Conseco,
Crestliner, Energizer, EverStart Batteries, Garmin, Kellogg's, Lund,
Mercury, Minn Kota, Poulan, Ranger Boats, Wal-Mart, Weed Eater and
