Jason Person of Pierre, SD has been drawn as the latest Challenger in The Fishing Crew Pro Challenge. He accomplished this by purchasing his raffle ticket from his best friend since 3rd Grade, Wille Glow. Proceeds from these tickets go to Cure Kids Cancer and to local charities. Jason has returned the favor and chosen Wille as his partner to go head to head against Fishing Crew Pro Staffers Doug Iverson and Troy Erickson. Jason informs us that he is very grateful for the opportunity and the chance to contribute to a wonderful cause. This should make for an interesting match up as Jason is a Pierre native and no stranger to Oahe or its’ walleyes.

Doug and Troy are locals as well and will prove to be a tough duo to compete against. But, as is always the case with anything involving fishing…anything can and does happen. The bite is just starting to take off on Lower Lake Oahe and there is definitely big fish potential to quickly swing the odds. At stake for Jason and Wille is $2,500 if they can outpace the Pro Staffers and even if their efforts fall a bit short-they will still take home $1,000. The competition will take place on July 9th and the weigh ins will be held at Steamboat Park near the Chamber of Commerce Building in Pierre, SD at 4:00 P.M. We welcome and encourage you to come watch and you may even want to show up a bit early and bring a child along as we will be conducting a Kids Day Event for local youth with numerous activities and prizes for all children attending from 2:30 P.M. until the weigh in.
