Competitive anglers have been captaining Lund Boats ever since the first wager for 搈ost?or 揵iggest?walleye was made across a poker table in the late 1940s. Decades later, competitive, professional anglers continue to reap cash rewards from modern day Lund boats. And now, Lund Boats continues this legacy of supporting professional walleye fishing tournaments.
For the 2011 season, Lund will offer a $5,000 contingency bonus* for each of the four AIM Pro Walleye Series?tournaments. The formula is simple for tournament players. Run a Lund. Win (the challenging part). And start filling out your bank deposit slip. Above and beyond the call of duty, Lund will award the AIM Angler of the Year a juicy $10,000** for being the big man or woman on campus, while schooling the rest of the field from a Lund Boat. All told, that抯 a monstrous $30,000 pot of Lund Bucks on the table to support the AIM Pro Walleye Series and incentivize competitors to fish from the best walleye rigs on the water.
"Lund Boats continues to showcase its rich tournament traditions through their world class boats, and now rewarding those pros who support this quality brand while fishing our AIM Pro Walleye Series,?said Scott Matheson, AIM President and CEO. 揥e at AIM clearly recognize Lund抯 continued proactive philosophy, and all that they have done for the fishing and boating industries.?
Cornerstone to Lund抯 continued support of competitive angling is what the tournament participants bring back to camp. 揟hese intuitive anglers offer infinitely valuable feedback to our team,?said Lund Boats Marketing Director, Jason Oakes. 揥e listen. Process the data. And continuously improve our boats and add special features, even develop entirely new models, all based on this intelligence from the field.?
Oakes takes it a step further. 揚rofessional tournament anglers like Mike Gofron, Perry Good, and Scott and Marty Glorvigen are the same experts that continue to innovate the sport of fishing as well. Out on the water, prefishing for tournaments, they develop new fishing techniques that are ultimately shared with the fishing public through magazines, websites and television.?
揙ur Lund Pros are part of the lifeblood that keeps fishing fresh and makes us all better anglers. So in the end, it抯 more than just cashing a check,?Oakes concluded.
