Chris Gasser - 6/6/2004

Oshkosh,WI - The Father and Son team of Brian and James Keller won the second day of back-to-back World Walleye Association WI/UP Team Challenge tournaments held on Lake Winnebago Sunday, June 6th.

On a second day with perfect fishing weather, Brian and James Keller made adjustments to their strategy used the day before which got them an 18th place finish to top the field on Sunday with an impressive 19.75 ­ pound five fish limit.

Second place went to long time WWA WI/UP anglers, Dave Hopp and Bob Cook, with a five fish, 18.86 ­ pound basket.

Finishing third was the reigning WWA National Champions, Father and Son team Bill and Matt Bobber with a weight of 18.26-pounds.

Big fish of the event was caught by the 2003 WI/UP Team of the Year Ryan Zander and Scott Hittman which weighed 6.93-pounds.

As on Saturday, the tactics used to catch the winning weights were hard to come by with other national tournaments coming in the following weeks, but trolling the main lake and jigging weed beds were among some of the information given out.
