I dont know for sure but in talking with Doc last night I think after winning the RCL he bacame the top money winner in proffesional walleye fishing. He was at 280,000 before the RCL and won 53,000 at Devils lake. That should put him over Seelhoff
I cant get dollars won on the NPAA site does any one know out there.
Doc is a walleye catching god!

I'm going to get pummeled, but here goes. This type of post is an ad in my opinion.
I think to not be an ad when a company post's they should post their name, job title, and tell us something of benefit for the board users or respond to an inqiry - Sue from Guest is super at this. Otherwise, this is an attempt to put out the name of "Crestliner" and a Crestliner pro to the 10 million plus people who hit this board.
Nothing against Crestliner, and point of fact this is interesting information. But it should be sent to the update page as a news release or something similar.
The owner's/moderator's of the board have said no ads, well, I know if I can get my product and my folks that work for me in the newspaper, tv, or radio without paying for it - I consider it publicity and at the least, an an ad most of the time.
I shouldn't pick on this, but I notice this stuff is ever increasing here. We see things like "our company's boat will be here", posts talking about products from the perspective of someone who is sponsored but doesn't mention they are sponsored, etc.
Blast away :)

Yup, got her... feel that head shake!
Todd your right on, but yes you'll get blasted!
Doc is an incredible fisherman- livebait extrordinair!
As far as largest dollar prize winner...I'm pretty sure Seelhoff is in the 400K area. Regardless, as Todd mentioned purchase an add and tell us how proud Crestliner is to have such a GREAT fisherman.

Todd! Crestline is a sponsor of this board. So they might let this slide. That is what this board is about post your option!
Great job Bruce!

Not even close!
There are a lot of guys, who have been out there for a lot of years, with a very large list of win's and titles. When you talk, " all time money Winner", you have to take in consideration, MWC,PWT,RCL,WWA,Mercury Nationals,Local events, Govenor Cups, State Events.
No doubt Doc is good, but don't put the cart before the horse! He isa in about 10th for all time.
15th on PWT
maybe 1st on RCL
There are a lot of people out there, give them all their dues!
Get your facts straight first, then advertise.

I wish Crestliner would identify him/herself.
This brings up an interesting point. Does anyone keep track of all time money winnings? Seems like the NPAA does loosely, but they sorta take the word of the anglers for it as far as I can tell. Some people include prizes in their winnings, some cash only. I think we should have some recordkeeping of these things because it would be interesting. I know there are people who have made quite a bit of money on the MWC over the years, but that would have to be split in half since it's a team event. We have teams on the Iowa Walleye Trail that have made over $10,000. Plus there are dozens of other individual tournaments and circuits where a person can pile up wins of $1,000 to $10,000 that add up over time. Combine those with a PWT or RCL win or two, and some people probably leave Sampson well down the list of top-10 all time money winners.
I'm speculating that Sampson is not the All-time money winner but I'm hoping someone would prove me wrong because they would have to figure it all out to be sure.

Oh, we track all-time money winning alright, but don't expect us to publish anything.
