Brian Ney, Baudette, MN, rigged in Vineland Bay for second.
Amateurs fish with a different pro each of the three days in the combined boat-weight format.
Second place big fish on the final day went to pro Dan Stier, Pierre, SD for a 7.61-pounder. He also placed fourth in the tournament. Most of the 1,527 walleyes were released. Those judged non-releaseable were donated to the Bethany Good Samaritan House in Brainerd, MN, for residents of the home. They are among the pros fishing the entire 6-tournament circuit.
