The 39th Annual Southtowns Walleye Association of Western New York’s annual contest was held June 10-18, a traditional kickoff event for the walleye fishing season on Lake Erie.
After nine days of intense fishing, it was the husband-and-wife team of Wayne and Ann Marie Doan of Hamburg that boated away with the big fish, a 12.56-pound walleye while trolling out of their 254 Larson Cabrio named “Trickster3” north of Seneca Shoal in 45 feet of water off Buffalo.
