Cory Nephin and Chris Rutland 23.44 lbs edged out Jamie Robinson and Terry Bernath 20.72 lbs to capture the Sagamok Fall Walleye Classic collecting a nice payout of $10,000. Day 2 saw 3 hour delay due to fog which really put the pressure on the leaders to bring in some weight to solidify their victory. They caught 2 nice walleyes with 10 minutes to go which got them the victory.
Once again Sagamok First Nations did not disappoint with the amazing prize payouts, table prizes, big fish prizes, Saturday and Sunday dinners, great volunteers & hospitality. They put on a first class event each year and many anglers look forward to this event. Each year they take ideas from the anglers and improve their event by implimenting them. This event was a full field with a waiting list. They are only in their 2nd year which really boasts the amazing job they do. Register early because next year will fill up quick.
Rounding out the top 5 was Justin Lemieux/Justin Thibert 19.02 lbs, Nicholas Lizotte/Terry Lizotte 17.08 lbs, Brad Croome/Kevin Mathews 16.45 lbs.
