reeling in fish copy

Unfortunately for Corey Curtis, fishing with his dad, Frank, he reeled in a bass—not a walleye—downstream from the dam here this morning, with Nathan Brigham and Brett Meyers looking on, as the eighth-annual Emo Walleye Classic got underway. Sixty-two teams are vying for the top prize, with the weigh-ins starting at 3:30 p.m. both today and tomorrow at the Emo Arena. Doug McBride and Steve Ballan are the defending champs.
