(Cody Frantz and Dan Williams), but qualifying for the National
Team Walleye Championship with my son is one of the most special
experiences of my life.”

country,” stated the Bosers. “If you have the ability to catch
walleyes consistently on the Kinzua Reservoir you have achieved an
amazing accomplishemt.”

first day of the tournament Boser and Boser took first place with

“The key to our success is we work really hard and we fish just
as hard as our competitors do, ” said Boser and Boser. “Because of
lower water conditions the fish were located on the river edges and
that’s what we concentrated on.”

Moonan (5.69 pounds), fourth place – Steve Sherk and Mike

in the morning and then moved into deeper water during the middle
of the day.”
