Hello Montana Tournament Anglers,

The list below is the full final standings for the 2009 Montana Walleyes Unlimited Angler of the Year competition.

Each year the top anglers in walleye circuits across the USA are invited to compete in the Cabela's National Team Championship Walleye Tournament which is held the following spring. Montana Anglers have traditionally done very well at this national event.

The 2010 Cabela's National Team Championship will take place June 5-6, 2010 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on legendary Lake Winnebago.

Montana Walleyes Unlimited will receive 10 invitations this year. The slots will be awarded to the highest ranking anglers who desire to go beginning with 1st place. If any angler or team of anglers wants to pass on the invitation it will be offered to the next highest ranking angler. All competing anglers in the Montana Circuit are eligible to go if they are offered an invitation based on highest to lowest ranking. Your Circuit Directors will continue to offer the ten available spots based on descending rank until all ten spots are claimed.

As of today (February 4, 2010) only 3 of the 10 spots have been claimed from the top 15 ranking anglers. The others have opted to pass this year. The Cabela's National Team Championship is a very exciting and prestigious event and I encourage anyone eligible to make the trip!

Applications need to be returned to Cabela's by the end of February. If you rank in the top end of the standings for 2009 and have a desire to go please contact me as soon as possible.

Thank You
Jim Muscat
