FISHING
Local angler 6th
Local walleye pro Bob Adler of Niles finished 6th last weekend at the first Wal-Mart RCL Walleye Circuit Tournament at Port Clinton on Lake Erie. The tournament is run by Operation Walleye and named after retail giant Wal-Mart and boat manufacturers Ranger, Crestliner and Lund, hence the R.C.L. designation.
Adler was paired with amateur Dave Kerzee for the April 11-14 contest. The pair ended up in sixth place with Adler getting a check for $10,000 and Kerzee receiving $4,000. Adler is the regional pro staffer for Crestliner boats and a member of the Trade Winds fishing team.
Adler's next stop on the R.C.L. will be the Mississippi River at La Crosse, Wis., May 9-12, followed by Saginaw Bay and Devils Lake in North Dakota.
Adler is sponsored by Crestliner boats, Mercury Outboards, Trade Winds Marine, Zercom Electronics, Reef Runner Lures, Jenson, and Rays Custom Tackle.
