I’m very sorry for all the disappointed RCL fishermen and the LaCrosse community as a whole for the July 25-28th tourney being cxl’d.

It’s a shame how certain people with publishing power can have such a major negative influence (in this case so very economically negative). Anyone against things that are positive should be disbelieved from onset and have chance to be proven wrong. Too bad here.

This RCL tournament would not have hurt the walleye population in the Mississippi. It would have been a boon to the community $$. It would have increased the everyone’s sense of pride in the entire 100 mile area. It would have been an extremely exciting event for all interested in Pro angling tournaments. It would have been a great challenge to the best walleye fishermen in the country too. Lastly, it definitely would have helped to put LaCrosse on the map for more really big-name walleye events.

Alas, I’m am sad – because none of the above will happen. I am confident that the good people around LAX will prevent this kind of [censored] from happening again in the future.
