The Kapuskasing River Walleye Tournament proved to be a close battle between 83 boats. Day 1 top weight was 16.43 lbs with 2nd and third right behind with 15.16 and 15.15 lbs! The weights from 4th to 20th was only separated by 2.39 lbs.
The story of the weekend, of course, is the team of Derek Leger and his son Paul, proving that the tournament isn’t won on the first day. With a day 1 total of “only” 9.74 lbs and a position of 28th they weighed in a whopping 19.9 lbs, besting the next best weight of 13.09 lbs and taking the win with 29.64 lbs over the two days, edging out second place by 1.39 lbs.
Congratulations to our 2013 winners and all participants! The KRWT has been another great success on the NOWT.
