I just wanted to make a shout out to Wes! He fished in a tournament in Idaho last weekend at Salmon Creek Reservoir. Wes and his fishing partner Travis took first place. Here is the article from a newspaper up there.I am so proud of him!
"Anglers reel in walleye at annual tournament
Idaho Walleye Unlimited held its 11th annual Spring Classic Walleye Tournament on Fathers Day weekend. Forty-five teams from seven states made their way to Salmon Creek Falls Reservoir for a shot at the more than $11,000 in prize money and gifts.
Wes Karren and Travis Grant from Duchesne, Utah, won the tournament with a record 38 pounds, 2 ounces. But the talk of the tournament was Debbie Schaffer's 12-pound, 8.7-ounce tournament record walleye. "This is the biggest walleye I have ever caught," said Shaffer, of Willard, Utah. "We love Idaho."
John Harrison, from the Magic Valley Chapter of Idaho Walleye Unlimited, said: "Fishing was exceptional. Every team caught legal fish. Idaho Walleye Unlimited and Idaho Fish and Game have worked hand-in-hand for several years to get this fishery where it is now. We cannot thank our members, sponsors, and Idaho Fish and Game enough."
