The second walleye tournament for the 2019 season came with some bumps or shall we say huge waves in the way. Satuday’s tournament had to be cancelled due to some high winds and major 5-6’ waves making for a terrible day to go out and fish safely. Sunday the weather was very cold but at least the wind was not as severe, and we were able to have the second tournament of the season.
Fish were being caught near mud point using jigs and white crank baits seemed to catch the walleyes eye. Some boats had success casting into the rocks as well. Walleye were found anywhere from 10-25 feet deep. The crappie also was very hungry as they were caught everywhere and in any depth.
The fish caught were very thick and healthy as 75 walleyes were weighed. A total of 137.22lbs came across our scales on Sunday. Unfortunately, no walleyes over 28” were caught. Congratulation to Scott Tincher and Kyle Bader for winning first place with a total weight of 8.67 lbs. The second-place team of Rick and Gary Waldron had 8.36 lbs. Third place team Nate and Landon Stender had 8.01 lbs. Fourth place team Justin Debrie and Nick Brandyberry had 8.00 lbs and also came in with the biggest fish of 2.60lbs. Fifth place was Ben Garver and Brady Sikes with 7.81lbs. Sixth place was Jason Hettler and Ryan Verba with 7.70lbs. Seventh was Jared Muth and Lance Nelson with 7.66lbs and eighth was Cole Opbrock and Darrin Grasshands with 7.42 lbs.
A huge shout out goes to tournament host Trade Winds Marina for sponsoring big fish and allowing us to take over their place for the day. I also would like to thank Nebraska Walleye President Rich Losee for being the scale master and Kelsey Stender and Colin Baker for helping with the scale and scoreboard.

The Ohio Walleye Federation – Pymatuning Lake (Qualifier #3) Results

Streetsboro, OH – June 14, 2019
The Ohio Walleye Federation (OWF) held their 3rd qualifier at Pymatuning Lake in Andover, OH. Once again, Pymatuning lake displayed its awesome fishery by producing an OWF inland lake record bag of 28.82 lbs. The 32-boat field had to battled strong Southeast winds making it difficult to hold on jigging spots and maintain trolling speeds on this horsepower restricted lake.

This record setting inland lake tournament weight of 28.82 lbs. was brought it by the team of Erick Williams & Sam Cappelli. Williams & Cappelli were trolling inline weights and crawler harnesses targeting suspended fish over 16-22fow.

Running a similar program was the 2nd Place team of Amanda Yackmack and Joe Yackmack weighing in 24.18 lbs. that included a 30” big fish bruiser weighing 9.65 lbs. Great net job Joe! The 3rd Place team of Jeff Amon & Logan Barnby jigged up 5 fish in the weeds for 23.89 lbs. Fourth place goes to Mitch Shipman & Rick Mulraney trolling cranks and harnesses targeting suspended fish. Rounding out the top 5 was the team of Anthony Naples & Gary Gaca using jigs to catch 22.90 lbs in the weeds. For more results, visit https://www.fishowf.com/2019-results.
