Eleven teams launched out of the Storm Lake Marina looking to fill their scorecards. Anglers were greeted by overcast skies in the morning followed by sunny gusty wind in the afternoon making boat control somewhat difficult. This was by far the biggest weights recorded for us at Storm, with many fish recorded and released, in the 19–25-inch protected slot. 35 Walleyes were scored weighing 143.04lbs. a 4.09lb. average, with many more caught and released. The tournament board met last Monday to review the S.D. scorecards. Unfortunately, several Walleyes were improperly recorded affecting three teams. The photo must clearly show the head against the bump with the tail pinched and then correctly recorded, several photos may be taken to ensure accuracy. When in doubt it's always better to lose 1/4 inch than the entire fish. Congratulations to Jeremey Ruehle and Jim George for their impressive 30.79lb. bag and Steve Templeton, Mark Mahaffey for a close 2nd, 28.26lb.bag!! Final results on the Web Site tournament tab.
