April 2013 will mark the beginning of the brand-new Cabela’s National Walleye Tour, which will include three regular season events and an end-of-season championship event. With an exciting pro-am format planned for the CNWT, fishermen from all walks of life are sure to be entertained as each event will air on NBC Sports, MAV TV and the Pursuit Channel. From the sounds of it, this is shaping up to be big.
Each event features an awesome payback—a tricked out Ranger boat and extra cash will be awarded to the winner of every event. Valued at approximately $57,000, that’s not too shabby for a couple of days on the water. To make the events even more lucrative for participating anglers, the CNWT is featuring several profitable contingency programs such as Ranger, Evinrude, Triton and Stratus. In order to fish the championship event at season’s end, anglers must compete in every regular season event.
