WALLEYE ONLY – This is a challenge to The Rock River Rats here on IDO. Yes I’m talking to the gang that participates on this Rock River thread, and I know you all. The challenge is to enter this event on June 6th. For starters it’s a for a couple great causes. Lucky for you guys I’m NOT fishing the event. 
I promised the staff I would not and stay back to help out. Yes you to Dave, there is a shore anglers event or for those that can’t find a friend with a boat u can fish from shore. 
If we can get more than four anglers fishing from this thread to enter we will have a special tournament for you and winner will get some fin-tech jigs. What do you say guys? Who wants to be king of the hill for a year?
