Glenwood, MN---Win the 2008 Warrior Boats Lake Minnewaska Fall Walleye Classic and you'll net the guaranteed $6,000 first place payout ($350 entry fee). Win it in a 2007 or newer Warrior Boat and you'll win an additional $7,500 from Warrior Boats, and, if you purchased your Warrior from Minnewaska Marine (Starbuck, MN), you'll bag an even bigger payday with another $7,500 in dealer contingency cash from Minnewaska Marine. Total first place payout if winning in a qualifying Warrior Boat, $21,000.

"The stakes are rising considerably at Minnewaska," said Fall Walleye Classic tournament director, Corey Bohn. "Warrior has really stepped up after becoming the title sponsor in 2007 with some aggressive contingency cash bonuses both at the manufacturer's and dealer level."

"Warrior offered $7,500 in contingency cash last year if you were the original owner and won the tournament," said Bohn, "while Minnewaska Marine just agreed to become a dealer contingency sponsor this past week, and will pay the 2008 winner an additional $7,500 if you purchase a 2007 or newer Warrior boat from their dealership and win the tournament in 2008."

"If you win in a qualifying Warrior you're going to win big at Minnewaska," said Bohn. "Not only would you be fishing from the finest boat in walleye fishing, but you're going to have the opportunity to take home considerable winnings. That's a win-win."

Guidelines for the 2008 contingency bonus cash are as follows: 1) you must be the original owner of a 2007 or newer Warrior boat; 2)you must be fishing from that boat during the competition; 3)2007 boats eligible this year only from both manufacturer and dealer--2008 boats eligible this year and next from manufacturer only; 4) dealer contingency is offered one year only (current year). *Any questions call Corey Bohn at 320-424-1382 or email: minnkotaoutdoors@msn.com.

This is a fun tourney and well run. Weights could be big this year with the earlier date. This will be our fifth straight year and we look forward to it. Actually did some ice fishing on Minnewaska this winter and did well. Wish we could of weighed those fish last fall.

This is a real fun derby. The bite should be great this year with the lake currenlty holding a nice population of walleyes. Thanks to the stocking efforts of the Minnewaska Lake Association.

Minnewaska currently harbors the highest walleye count in the past 20 years. Considerable numbers of 18-23 inch fish which are prime tourney fish, along with those bigger kicker fish. As Small Fish On stated, the Minnewaska Lake Association has privately stocked in excess of 600,00 six to 12-inch walleye fingerlings since 1999. In addition there has been significant year classes noted in 1999, 2001 and again in 2005 through fry stocking or natural reproduction. In addition to Minnewaska being one of the more consistent walleye lakes in west-central Minnesota the past couple years, it is also without a doubt one of Minnesota's premiere bass fisheries for both largemouth and smallmouth. 19 to 21 inch smallies are pretty common with a 22 1/2 incher caught during last year's tournament by one of the teams.
1 ft. contour maps of Minnewaska are available in both paper and on digital chip through LakeMaster. Check this lake out.
