34th Annual Lac Qui Parle Walleye Tournament
MONSON AND ANDREAS WIN 34TH ANNUAL
LAC QUI PARLE LAKE WALLEYE TOURNAMENT
On Saturday, June 8, the 34th Annual Lac Qui Parle Lake Association Walleye Tournament was held on Lac Qui Parle Lake. 60 teams competed for a top prize of $2200. Mother nature gave anglers overcast skies, 15-20 mph south winds and rain in the afternoon. Fish were caught all over the lake, but it seemed that pulling crank baits on the
North end of the lake or using a jig and a minnow at the bridges was the most effective. Many anglers reported catching numbers of fish over 20 inches while pre-fishing, but just couldn't find those fish on the day of the tournament. Top honors went to Scott Monson and Jeff Andreas of Montevideo, MN with a winning weight of 18.03 pounds. Monson and Andreas also had the second largest walleye of the tournament weighing 7.76 pounds. In second place was Jason Randall of Milan, MN and Darrin Hatletvedt of Montevideo, MN. They brought a limit to the scales that weighed 17.17 pounds and included a 7.15 pound walleye. Third place went to Doug McDaniel of Marshall, MN and Andy Doom of Russell, MN. The pair weighed a 15.68 pound basket and won big fish honors for the tournament with an 8.57 pound walleye. Corey Reiffenberger of Montevideo, MN and Leo Reiffenberger of LaBolt, SD earned fourth place with a weight of 14.42 pounds. Team Prellwitz rounded out the top five with a weight of 13.97 pounds.
