Default RE: PWT Super Pro Payout

I am looking forward to more exciting television coverage of walleye events. The problem has always been walleye angling translates to duller tv shows. The action is methodical compared to more action oriented bass or redfish angling. Just not as 'sexy' on tv. We all know how challenging it is to run cranks on leadcore to just 'knick' the top of a deep reef, but the tv viewers just see some guys trolling along looking at his electronics and waving to the camera. I recall a PWT event televised from Baudette that showed most of the tourney field anchored and stacked together like cord wood.
The commentators said 'anglers have decided to wait for the fish to come to them'. I was like what is so 'professional' about that? It was dullsville tv and a poor reflection on professional walleye anglers.
