Aaal Aboard at Walleye Central

Well after the first three events the Inaugural Washington State Walleye Circuit is off and running. The WSWC it sponsored by Walleye Central.

The first event of the year was the Big Wally’s Spring Classic, held May 20 and 21^st on Banks Lake. The tournament headquarters was at Coulee City Park at the south end of the 33-mile long lake. The weather was good this year as John Carruth of Davenport, WA and Ken Loper of Rathdrum, ID scored big weighing in 34.8 pounds of walleye to take home first place in the Classic and help them grab the early lead in the circuit.

Up next was the Moses Lake Walleye Derby, held June 5^th and 6^th on Moses Lake. The tournament headquarters was at Cascade Park. Ray Roeder and Scott Berdan of Moses Lake, WA weighed in 23.6 pounds to win the event. The leaders in the WSWC after the 2^nd of 5 events were Mike Ott and Mike Curtiss of Moses Lake, WA. Ott and Curtiss had a 3^rd place finish at Banks Lake and followed that up with a 13^th place finish at Moses Lake giving them the lead in the WSWC after two events.

The Washington Governor’s Cup was the third event of the year. The Governor’s Cup was held June 24^th and 25^th on Lake Roosevelt, with the tournament headquarters at Kettle Falls. Royce Drye of Spokane, WA and his partner Don Talbot of Wenatchee hauled in 55.2 pounds of walleye to capture first place. Ott and Curtiss had another solid outing placing 21^st good enough to retain first place in the WSWC.

Two tournaments remain in the WSWC. The Rod Meseberg Fall Walleye Classic on September 16^th and 17^th is the next in line. This tournament is held on Potholes Reservoir with the headquarters/launch site at Mar Don Resort. This will be an exciting tournament as teams position themselves.

The last event is the Fall Classic Walleye Derby September 23^rd and 24^th on the Columbia River. The tournament launch site it the Port of Camas/Washougal.

Points are awarded as follows 100 points for 1^st place, 95 for 2^nd down to 30 points for 15 place. All remaining teams receive at least 25 points. Bonus points are awarded for the weight of their catch at each tournament.
