Plymouth, WI – August 31, 2010 – Anglers Insight Marketing LLC™ (AIM) announces that 51 Pro Anglers will be competing at the 2010 Lake Winnibigoshish Championship, September 1st through the 3rd. These anglers have qualified through their participation in at least one of the AIM Pro Walleye Series™ tournaments in 2010. The qualifying tournaments included locations at Bay City, MI and Green Bay, WI and Akaska, SD.

Prior to the start of the 2010 tournament season, dozens of regional tournaments in the United Sates and Canada were invited to participate as an AIM Sanctioned Series. The top anglers from these series were invited to compete alongside the AIM Pro Anglers. Ultimately, three anglers have accepted these invitations and will be in attendance at Lake Winnibigoshish. The anglers competing as Pros based on their Sanctioned Series qualifications are:
Chris Kindraka, Pro Angler from the Saskatchewan Walleye Trail (Saskatchewan)
Cary Pettinger, Pro Angler from the Lac du Bonnet Walleye Classic (Manitoba)
Kevin Audrain, Pro Angler from the Texas Walleye Association (Texas)

These Pro Anglers will be competing for their share of over $100,000 in cash and prizes. This total payback represents over 130% of entry fees. The first place Pro Angler will win a 2010 Lund Pro-V boat equipped with a Mercury Verado 300hp motor. The total package is valued at $65,000.

The payouts for the AIM International Walleye Championship™ are as follows:
    First Place        $65,000 Lund/Mercury package
    Second Place        $8,000
    Third Place        $5,000
    Fourth Place        $4,000
    Fifth Place        $3,500
    Sixth Place        $3,400
    Seventh Place        $3,300
    Eighth Place        $3,200
    Ninth Place        $3,100
    Tenth Place        $3,000

In addition, the Lake Winnie Championship will also determine the JJ Keller Angler of the Year. This award recognizes the AIM Pro Angler who has had the highest cumulative finishes over the course of all four tournaments. This check will be presented to the top angler from the 2010 season at the conclusion of the Day Three weigh-in on September 3rd.

Finally, these season-ending Angler of the Year standings will also determine the top 50 AIM Pro Anglers who will receive invitations to the 2011 Bay Mills Invitational to be held next June at the Bay Mills Resort and Casino in Brimley, MI.
