The 2009 Lac DuBonnet fishing tournament was held July 11 and 12th and it was a great success. The winning team had over a 7 lb average on 10 fish. Pretty nice Walleye's. 17 teams registered and the results are posted here.  See you there next year on July 10th, 2010!

This is a ZERO FISH MORTALITY! All fish are weighed in the boat and then released - all with-in seconds of being caught. This means that no fish will be carried around in a live well or taken to a weigh-in site.

Each boat is assigned a Spotter who accompanies the 2 person Pro team. When a walleye is caught, the fish is put into a special weigh sack by the Spotter, weighed and then recorded. At the end of the day, the team confirms their top 5 heaviest fish and turns the weigh sheet into the tournament officials.

The proceeds went towards "Reel Solutions for Youth" where Pros shared their fishing knowledge with local youths. They were invited to a day at the Lac Du Bonnet town dock for a fishing seminar by Donnie Lamont and a mini-tournament. Afterwards, they got to keep the rod and reel that they were using!  View the June, 2009 photo.

NEW! - The Reel Solutions for Youth was held June 12/09. Thank You to Donnie Lamont for doing the seminar and has also procured the rods and reels for the kids - gratis!
