The Point Place Days and Legacy Community Foundation annual Walleye Tournament took place last Sunday under a bright sky and with moderate temperatures. Tournament Director Eric Damask officiated as scores of early rising fishing enthusiasts gathered to register at Spot and Spams Bait Shop on Edgewater Drive at 6:00 a.m.

The competition concluded with winners in three categories at 3:00 p.m. with awards and refreshments. Mr. Damask challenged those in attendance to double their catch next year.
