Lucky Winners on Lake Oahe!
One of the most challenging bites the MWC has faced in its 25 year history was part of the experience on Lake Oahe in South Dakota this weekend. High muddy water, a late spring delaying the spawn and the smelt run all contributed to the unique conditions that challenged the 61 team field. But persevere and tough it out -- they did!
Aaron Wagner and Jim Perry, respectfully, are lucky winners of Lake Oahe Tournament!
Twenty-one teams caught at least one fish with a total of 54 fish caught. The winning weight was 15.72 pounds for 3 fish by the Kansas team of Jim Perry and Aaron Wagner. This was their first Cabela's MWC tournament, and obviously their first MWC victory, cashing in a total of $13,188. Included in these winnings are sponsor bonuses from the Oxygenator for $200 and the National Professional Anglers Association (NPAA) for $100.
The winners only boated one small fish on Sunday for 1.8 pounds, but it was enough with 1.4 pounds to spare over their friends Ryan & Ethridge. The Salina, Kansas team boated 3 fish for 12.72 pounds on day one and one fish for 1.6 pounds on day two for a total of 14.32 pounds. Second placed netted $5,700 plus $1,000 for the Ranger Cup bonus for a total of $6,700.
Guy Ryan and Troy Ethridge, respectfully, winners of Ranger Cup.
Third place honors went to Shannon Grismer and Colin Beitelspacher, both of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Grismer and Beitelspacher caught the most fish of the tournament, 3 fish on day one for 6.39 pounds and 4 fish on day two for 6.52 pounds. They also cashed in $500 from Lowrance Electronics for running the new High Definition System, winning $4,100 in total.

Our happy and very proud winner of a new bike, Trapper Miklos.
Lucky winners of new rods and reels at the Lake Oahe weigh-in.
Right after the Lake Oahe weigh-in, all our children spectators received tackle boxes and new fishing hooks so they can fish like our Cabela's MWC anglers. Johnnie Candle and Dave Noble taught the kids how to tie fishing knots and raffled off new rods and reels, and a new bike donated by the Mobridge Chamber of Commerce. Thank you to all who attended and we wish the best of luck to all the kids in catching big fish!
