[size 1]Idaho Walleye Unlimited held its 11th annual Spring Classic Walleye Tournament on Fathers Day weekend. Forty-five teams from seven states made their way to Salmon Creek Falls Reservoir for a shot at the more than $11,000 in prize money and gifts.

Wes Karren and Travis Grant from Duchesne, Utah, won the tournament with a record 38 pounds, 2 ounces. But the talk of the tournament was Debbie Schaffer's 12-pound, 8.7-ounce tournament record walleye. "This is the biggest walleye I have ever caught," said Shaffer, of Willard, Utah. "We love Idaho."

John Harrison, from the Magic Valley Chapter of Idaho Walleye Unlimited, said: "Fishing was exceptional. Every team caught legal fish. Idaho Walleye Unlimited and Idaho Fish and Game have worked hand-in-hand for several years to get this fishery where it is now. We cannot thank our members, sponsors, and Idaho Fish and Game enough."

The biggest catch
1st place - Wes Karren and Travis Grant; 38 pounds, 0.5 ounces. Prize: $2,683
2nd place - Kevin Hendrix and Brandon Harkness; 28 pounds, 7.0 ounces. Prize: $1,731
3rd place - Hal Hollbrook and Dave Mayor; 28 pounds, 3.4 ounces. Prize: $1,125
4th place - Tom Davis and Jay Johnson; 25 pounds, 9.4 ounces. Prize: $778

This tourney always has me interested, but since I've moved to Idaho I've always got stuck doing something else during tourney time.[frown]
I need to get back into the tourneys bad, Team Quill hasn't caught a walleye since 2002 at Banks Lake. All my walleye tackle is just sitting there looking at me on the garage shelf begging to be used.
