It was a wild day at day one of the Emo Walleye Classic. With almost a dozen teams coming back without fish, as well as a five-pound spread in the top five teams, it was obvious that the weather and the high water had an effect on the results today. But Doug McBride and Steve Ballan managed to find the fish when it counted!

Friday, May 27, 2005 10:00 a.m. Braving high water levels, and a change in boat launch, 60 anglers left the shores in Emo to fish in the fourth annual Classic this morning. After a stirring rendition of Canadian and American national anthems by Renee Martin, as well as a welcome by Reeve Russ Fortier, the anglers shot down the river in both directions, looking for the big catch of the day.
