It was a great experience to bring a professional walleye event to Sault Ste Marie, ON this past 2011. I enjoyed being tournament director and emcee. We are already preparing for this year. Sault Ste Marie is a great tourist destination in the summer for all families. Sign up and come to the Sault, you will not be disappointed. Below is a press release on our local news. I also attached a video(part 1 of 4) the show.

Kiwanis walleye tournament episode to air on TSN’S Canadian Sportfishing program
SAULT STE. MARIE - On July 8 – 10 2011, the waters of the St. Marys River were filled with eager anglers focused on catching trophy walleye in the first annual Kiwanis Invitational Walleye Tournament.
And all along the waterfront there was fun for the whole family, including the fan favourite Station Mall Parade of Boats.
The event was a tremendous success with anglers and spectators thoroughly enjoying the massive fish, exciting weigh-ins and a marina full of the sights and sounds of a professional fishing tournament.
During this event hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Lakeshore, TV personality and pro fisherman Italo Labignan met with Saultites, fished our waters, and filmed an episode of his show Canadian Sportfishing.
The St. Marys River and the Kiwanis Invitational Walleye Tournament provided an amazing setting for the episode which even includes the winner of a coloring contest, Colton and his family fishing with Italo.
Italo also hosted a children’s fishing seminar in the Roberta Bondar Pavillion that was filmed and is featured on the show along with the many other family activities that are a part of this annual event.
Catch the episode on TSN Monday, February 13 at 1 p.m., TSN2 Friday, February 17 at 3 p.m., and on TSN Saturday, February 18 at 11 a.m.
