Walleye Championship Proves Tough as Seas Halt Contest
The LEMTA-Cedar Point Marina Lake Erie Walleye Championship drew 303 three person teams, with Robert Krueger, Ron Deighton, and Bill Fougerousse from the Parma-Brooklyn area winning 13 pounds 10 ounces. Big fish honors went to GLI Polansky of Lorain with seven pounds seven ounces. Sunday seas forced the fleet to Sandusky Bay, shrinking field and leaving top 50 largely unchanged.
