World Walleye Association (WWA) held its fourth Illinois qualifying tournament
Sunday September 15th. The team of Jasen Shine (Lake Villa, IL) and Ed Michniewicz (Ingleside, IL) took top honors with a five fish basket of 4.58 lbs. on a tough bite. Jasen and Ed have qualified to fish in the Cabeleas NTC next year on Green Bay as they were also the Walleye Federation side pot winners. Big Fish honors belongs to Kevin Willis and Keith Volkmer. The teams fishing live bait seemed to out produce the trollers on this very tough day today where no six fish limits were brought in. Shine and Michniewicz are known to be able to produce fish in tough conditions with their live bait offerings.
