Koester and Rhodes repeat as Walleye Madness Champs!
Jeff Koester of Brookville, IN and Scott Rhodes of Traverse City, MI won the
Walleye Madness tournament for the second year in a row! Koester and Rhodes
beat out Steve Skupien of Frankfort, IL and Dave Kleszyk of Oakbrook Terrace, IL
to hold on to the title of Walleye Madness Champions. The Walleye Madness
tournament was built within the MWC East Division Port Clinton tournament,
so the Sweet Sixteen teams were actually participating in two tournaments at once.
The Walleye Madness tournament was a bracketed tournament where you just had to
have more weight than the team you were competing against to move on.
The first day’s weigh-in reduced the field from sixteen teams down to the Elite Eight.
Pressure built on day two of the tournament as teams battled to get into the Final Four.
The Final Four pitted Skupien and Kleszyk against Jay Walsh of Chicago, IL and Dave
Gossar of Wedron, IL. Skupien and Kleszyk prevailed as they put 10.09 lbs of fish in
the boat as Walsh and Gossar zeroed. Koester and Rhodes went up against Don Olson of
Andover, MN and Randy Carroll of Oswego, IL. Koester and Rhodes bested Olson/Carroll
by 3.64 lbs. In the Championship round, Koester and Rhodes ousted Skupien and Kleszyk
by 3.42 lbs.; enough to hold on to their title as the reigning Walleye Madness Champions
and earn themselves $10,000.

have a bigger weight than the team you were competing against.
Day one reduced the field down to the Elite Eight, which were sent out again
