FLW Outdoors recently padded the purse of its upcoming Walleye Tour Championship by more than $35,000. Other announcements for both the 2011 walleye and bass seasons are expected soon.
FLW Outdoors operations division president Kathy Fennel noted: "The Walleye Tour has seen several changes and challenges over the recent seasons, and we're excited to improve the 2010 Championship. Increasing the paybacks for the Championship is a way we can show our appreciation to those anglers who've continued to participate on the Tour and show a glimpse of the positive changes and attention that we plan to devote to the Tour in 2011."
