This beauty of a fish was caught by Lisa Stone on Day 2. She opted not to weigh it as the fish caught by Kilpatrick had already been weighed. It did help her and partner Raymond King win third in the tourney! To see all the RRWT photos click on Photos at left and look for the RRWT 11 gallery.

Sean Kilpatrick, left, reeled up this 10.97 lbs. walleye to break the tournament record held by Colin Wood/Doug Moen since 2004. His partner Dan Armstrong is holding the fish. Armstrong had the tournament big fish last year! To see all the RRWT photos click on Photos at left and look for the RRWT 11 gallery.
