My wife won tickets last year and we went. I came in eight place. Not bad for never fishing the lake before.

I might go if my wife wins the tickets again. I won about $500.00 in camping gear.

Also I love the second hole for 30 bucks they added this year.

fishaman · « **Reply #12 on:** Feb 24, 2011, 11:02 PM »

I will also be attending...and I'm dragging the wife with. Apparently if she wins the $10K she is buying a new rock to put on her ring

, If I win, I get to buy her a new rock for her ring...... $:-\$ . Either way I'm still out fishing

Is the derby just for walleye, or is it for all species? Just wondering, looking at the entry form it looks like its just walleye?

EEE · « **Reply #14 on:** Feb 25, 2011, 09:00 AM »

Not just walleye for this Derby!!!

Not just for walleye, infact i don't think there will be many walleye brought to the weigh station if any at all.

A pike has won the last two years

Here is a link for info

My reply to this topic got deleted, so I'll try this again with fewer details. My apologies to the mods if I broke any forum rules.

Glad to see so many familiar faces coming out this year, it is much appreciated!

gmk, due to Falcon Lake being in the Whiteshell Provincial Park, there is a slot size for the walleye that must be immediately released. All walleye between 45-70cm cannot be weighed in. You guys are correct, it is an all species tournament but a big pike usually takes home the $10,000. Last year's winning fish was 20.02lbs!

Thanks for your support,
Andrew Klassen

I forgot to mention, if anybody is in the Cabelas area today, stop by for a chat! It would be nice to put a face to some of the names on here!

Thanks!

It was great to meet so many of you guys at the Boat Show over the last few days! Hopefully you enjoyed yourself! Anybody pick up a new boat for the season?
