Wow, what a weekend for a walleye tournament! On day one of the 2015 Spring Walleye Classic all 74 teams caught and weighed walleye. We had 74 teams this year in the Walleye Tournament. These fishermen and women caught 822 fish with an average size of 2.77 pounds. Our volunteers asked teams that weighed their six-fish limit, how many walleye they caught and released during the tourney. Teams said numbers between 3 and 50! Weigh Master George Allen of the Spokane Walleye Club was amazed at the number of walleye weighted during the 2 day tournament. We would like to thank all of our volunteers that make this event possible every year.
