Fond Du Lac, WI - The World Walleye Association South Dakota Team Challenge will be heading to Sprawling Big Stone Lake May 1st and 2nd 2004 for the second and third stops of the season in the South Dakota division.

"We had a very close contest at our first stop of the season at Cedar Shores Resort on Lake Francis Case." Said Steve Poll, Executive Director of the WWA and South Dakota Tournament Director. "Less than a half a pound separated the top three teams. This says a lot for the skills of the South Dakota Team Challenge anglers and I expect the Big Stone tournaments to be much the same."

Bob Klosterman of Madison SD and Dan Palli of Nunda SD lead the point race in the division after their win on Francis Case.

Registration will be Friday April 30th from 5:00-7:00 P.M. for both events or for the Saturday May 1st event. Registration for the Sunday May 2nd event will be Saturday May 1st from 5:00-7:00 P.M.

Registration will be held at the Matador Supper Club on Hwy 72 in Ortonville.

Registration will be limited to 100 teams and all teams must be members of the WWA.

Tournament hours for each day will be from 7:00 A.M.- 3:00 P.M.

Ortonville City Park will be the official weigh in site.

The WWA is a friendly, fun, and affordable way to participate in the competitive world of walleye fishing. Extensive media coverage of tournament results can be found on numerous websites along with coverage in the Badger Sportsman Magazine, the official publication of the WWA. Subscriptions to the Badger Sportsmen are included when anglers become members of the WWA.

The WWA also offers a National Championship at the end of the year for qualifying teams.

These are just some of the reasons anglers choose to fish the WWA, "A Tournament Circuit For Fisherman, Run By Fisherman".
