Plymouth, WI – July 17, 2009 – Anglers Insight Marketing LLC™ (AIM) announces the year-to-date standings in the Angler of the Year race after two AIM Pro Walleye Series™ tournaments.
Following the completion of the recent event in Green Bay, WI the results of the AIM Angler of the Year race are listed below. These standings are based on a comprehensive formula that starts with an award of 100 points to the winner of each AIM Pro Walleye Series™ tournament. Each successive Pro Angler is then credited with points based on a percentage of the winning weight.
Leading the AIM Angler of the Year race after two events is Tommy Skarlis. Skarlis leads based on his first place finish at Bay City and thirteenth finish in Green Bay. Close behind is Tom Kemos, who finished third in Bay City and twelfth in Green Bay. The third AOY ranking belongs to Dennis Gulau after his sixth place finish in Bay City and third place finish in Green Bay. These top three Pro Anglers are in line for important bonuses (see details below.) Again, the rankings are not based on tournament finish places but on the total weights as a percentage of the winner.
