This past weekend was proof that when fisherman, generous companies, and a great charity come together, good things happen. The 2017 Walleye Wisdom Seminar for St. Jude Children’s Hospital was a tremendous success and we are proud to say that they raised $12,300 for the charity. A crowd of 170 avid walleye anglers showed up to watch professional anglers Gary Zart, Nicholas Zart, Scott Geitgey, Mike Knippenberg and Ryan Buddie do a full day of walleye seminars on topics such as electronics, various trolling techniques, and color selections. Boat dealership Vic’s Sports Center of Kent, Ohio setup a great venue for the day and fed the crowd an outstanding Italian meal. There were several vendors on hand to help anglers stock up for their 2017 season including Warrior Lures, Fisherman’s Central, Cisco Fishing Systems, Lowrance, and World Wide Marine Insurance. The sponsors of the event stepped up big time donating a lot of great product to the raffle and enabled the crew to raise the staggering figure of $12,300 for the kids of St. Jude.
