Top 10 at KRWT

Well what a way to end my Walleye Tournament season!!! The year started with a 2nd place finish with my Dad at the FLWC. The Kapuskasing River Walleye Tournament was the last stop for Simeon and I on the circuit and we came in 9th place, our 1st time on the podium together and he is only 9 years old. We could have won many times over but our "little" mistakes cost us in the end. On day 1 dad lands a 7lber 20 minutes in and follows that with a 3.5lber(over 10lbs at 9:30am) We could not get 4 unders and only handed in 2 fish for the day. OUCH!!! We were in 24th place. Day 2 saw us with 6 fish good for 13.5lbs and we moved up to 9th place and missed first place by 5 lbs. (our 4 little ones) We ended up only handing in 8 fish for the weekend but still had 24lbs. We won $450 . Sim also caught our biggest fish on day 2 just under 4 lbs. He was The net man on the 7lber as well. It was a great year for me as 3 generations of Laukkanens made it on the podium. Way to go Dad and Sim!!!
