Brett King headed out on to the Bay of Green Bay this morning with a plan. He said in a morning interview he intended to get his seven in the lower Bay, and stay there until he was comfortable he was going to hold his own against the rest of a very talented field. He was then going to get out into the big water and try to swing for the fence and upgrade with a 30″ fish or two. 

Brett executed perfectly this morning, and headed out to the big water only to strike out on the big fish bite. Late this afternoon, he headed back into the lower Bay…and upgraded a few of his morning fish!
The weigh in had progressed to the last few anglers, and Brett was holding down the top spot after defeating Robert Blosser’s total when the last challenger, Dennis Gulau took the stage. Dennis left the dock this morning in first, in a near dead heat with the top six. It was immediately evident Dennis had not done as well as he had hoped, and when his total came up on the MC Monitor, Tommy Skarlis announced Brett King had won.
The AIM Bay of Green Bay win was Brett King’s first major tour win. He took the title pulling cranks under conditions he described as ‘not alot of fun’ after a major cold front had stirred up the Bay and scattered weeds all along the surface. Brett described the technique in a morning interview with AIM, and talked about the win with AIM this evening. Brett will cash a check for $28,200.00 for his first place finish.

Robert Blosser ended the tournament in second place with a total weightof 86.87 pounds and  a check for $6,321 for his efforts.  Third placewent to Dennis Gulau who finished with a total weight of 79.17 poundsfor a third place check of $4,629.00.  Rich Boggs finished fourth with77.90 pounds, claiming a check for $4,065.00.  Chad Schilling roundsout the top five with his three day weight of 77.03 pounds, earning$3,783.00.
