Online registration is now underway for the 42nd Annual Walleye Weekend. The Iowa Great Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce reports this year’s event will take place May 4-5.
Given it's the 42nd year of Walleye Weekend, the grand prize will be $42,000 for one of the 10 tagged walleye. There are no changes to the structure of the event this year, and there will once again be a Biggest Walleye Tournament, which is through the FishDonkey app.
People may register at okobojichamber.com. The cost of the tournament is $30 for those 16 and older and $15 for those 15 and younger. The extended contest is an additional $20 that allows participants to continue to fish for one of the tagged walleye through Aug. 31.
