To start off, we have an announcement to make. We at Clyde’s were analyzing the results this morning and we realized that someone else should have been awarded 5th place. It was announced at the tournament that Frank Pilney & Mike Meyers took 5th, but in reality it should have gone to Bart Fisher & Dean Fisher. We would like to congratulate them for both biggest fish and 5th place, and say that they will be receiving their check and plaques in the mail. Frank Pilney & Mike Meyers would like to congratulate Bart & Dean Fisher for beating them fair and square. They both agree that the integrity of the tournament is more important than placing in the money.
Sorry for the mix-up.

We thought it was only necessary to post the top 10 winners. If you would like the details of all 27 boats you can either call Clyde’s at 651-439-6554 or send an e-mail to [email protected].
We would like to thank all of our sponsors, Frankie’s Live Bait & Marine, Triton Boats, Evinrude Motors, Minnkota, and Reef Runner Fishing Lures for helping with this tournament. Second we would like to thank all of the fishermen who participated in this tournament. We ended up with a total of 27 boats and everyone of the fishermen made this a fun and relaxed tournament for all involved. We got an e-mail this morning from Turk Gierke, one of the local St. Croix guides who was in the tournament and he just wanted to let us know that he thought the guys attitudes were up-beat and relaxed as opposed to the other up-tight tournaments that he’s been in. We appreciate it Turk!
Again we would like to thank all who were involved and let everyone know that this was the 1st Anuual Team Walleye Tournament and we will be back bigger and better next year.
Thanks,
Clyde’s
