May 1, 2012 Fargo, ND, Moorhead, MN- FM Walleyes Unlimited, Inc., is sending 12 Teams to the Cabelas National Team Championship (NTC). Teams that fished the FM Walleyes Classic Club tournaments had the opportunity to become eligible for entries into the Cabelas National Team Championship (NTC).

The 2012 Cabela’s NTC will be held May 31-June 2 on legendary Mille Lacs Lake, Minnesota. The first two days will feature the entire field, with on-the-water inspections and weigh-ins based at Izaty’s Resort on the south shore just west of Isle. On Day Three, the top 25 teams from the first two days will compete for the prestigious title of Cabela’s National Team Champions. The final day’s launch and weigh-in will be held out of McQuoid’s Inn just north of Isle.
The first two days of the event will be held in conjunction with a Cabela’s Masters Walleye Circuit’s tournament. NTC qualifying teams may register to fish the Cabela’s MWC side of the event at the same time. Last year, Derek Navis and Korey Sprengel collected more than $180,000 in cash and prizes for their huge double-victory at the NTC/MWC dual tournaments on Bays de Noc, Michigan.
