Rain yesterday turned to sunshine today at the NWT’s tournament out on Lake Sharpe, drawing even more Pierre locals out to Steamboat Park to take part in the festivities. Hundreds gathered as the teams came off the water, wondering if anyone could touch Robert Crows huge numbers from Thursday. Each pro angler was assigned a new co-angler, something most pro’s enjoyed, mainly because of the variability of it all.

Robert Crow made it difficult on everyone else competing after bringing in 21 lbs.-02 oz. yesterday, which was eight pounds ahead of second place. A stunning day for Crow on day one carried him to the finish line, only bringing in 5-08 on day two bringing him to a winning total of 26-13.
From Pierre Tyson Keller and Duane Hjelm represented their home-waters nicely finishing 10th and 11th. Keller finishing with 18-05 and Hjelm with 18 lbs. flat. Also fishing in his backyard, Chris Haines finished tied for 19th with 16-11. To see the full leaderboard, click here.
