Russ Smith and Dean Bliss had a big day 1 on the Spanish River. They caught many walleyes over the 18.1 inch slot where many anglers struggled to get one over 18.1 inches. Their Day 1 weight of 17.99 lbs was a big weight on Day 1 which saw their nearest competition 6+ lbs back. It seemed almost a guarantee but they still needed to put a good day 2 in to cash in on the $10,000 first place prize. They did just what they needed to do by weigh 9.85 lbs on the second day. They secured themselves the bragging rights with a total of 27.84 lbs and the big cheque. Great way to wrap up the NOWT 2012 Season.
Rounding out the top 3 was Jamie Robinson and Terry Bernath putting in a stellar day 2 with 14.11 lbs for a total of 25.88lbs good for second place and $5000 cheque. Finishing in 3rd place were Denis Martin and Luc Audet with 22.47lbs and $4000 cheque.
Sagamok First Nations once again did not disappoint by putting on another great event that all the anglers enjoyed. They went above and beyond by marking all the problematic areas and created no wake zones to protect anglers. This was a very safe tournament and I want to thank Sagamok for their hard work.
This event will return again next year so get yourself registered today to insure your spot in the field.
