NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. (August 2, 2017) - Competitive walleye anglers will converge
on Green Bay at Marinette, Wisconsin, for the Cabela's National Walleye Tour championship
event on Aug. 16-18. The championship event will feature some of the country's best
walleye anglers in a pro-am style format and guarantees over 100 percent payback,
including three fully rigged Ranger boats.

The championship event begins Tuesday, August 15, with tournament registration from
2-4 p.m. at Marinette High School Auditorium (2135 Pierce Ave., Marinette, WI 54143)
with a mandatory pre-tournament meeting set to start at 5:00 p.m. Pro- and co-angler
pairings will be announced at the pre-tournament meeting.

Anglers will launch each morning at 7 a.m. from Menekaunee Harbor with anglers returning
to the harbor for weigh-ins each day. After the first two days' action, the field
will be cut to the top 10 pro- and co-anglers. Weigh-ins will start at 3:00 p.m.
each day.

During each day of competition, Triton Boats and Mercury Marine are offering free
demo rides in the acclaimed 216 Fishhunter. The demo rides will take off from the
boat launch.

The National Professional Anglers Association (NPAA) will also host a "Future Angler"
program for children after Friday's weigh-in, approximately at 4:00 p.m., featuring
an educational seminar and training for youth from top-notch NPAA members. The youth-orientated
event will include a free rod/reel combo or "Future Pro" t-shirt for the first 150
children who attend the educational program. Smokey the Bear will also be on hand
during this time.

Anglers that have fished all three regular season events, in addition to the top
points leaders, will qualify for the three-day, entry-fee championship. The championship
event is a pro-am style format and guarantees over 100 percent payback, including
two-fully rigged Ranger boats for first and second place in the pro-angler category
and, new for 2017, a new Ranger 1682 with 115 horsepower Mercury 4-stroke, valued
at $26,300 for the first-place co-angler.

The NWT Angler of the Year Awards, presented by Lucas Oil, is also up for grabs
at the championship. The pro- and co-anglers with the most points earned after the
championship will be awarded custom rings and paid entry fees for the 2018 season.

Anglers who are participating in any of the numerous contingency prize programs
are encouraged to submit all pertinent information at registration to remain eligible
for any potential bonus money.
