Presented by Yamaha Motor Corp USA and Warrior Boats Inc.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:\u00a0\u00a0March 17, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n Contact: Denny Fox, 920-505-0122<\/strong><\/p>\n Anglers Insight Marketing LLC (AIM\u2122) <\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Warrior, Yamaha, Garmin, Rosemore, Odyssey Combine <\/strong><\/p>\n For $100K AWWS National Championship Package <\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n A never-before prize rundown for the AIM Weekend Walleye Series<\/a> National Championship Shootout will boost the first-place worth to more than $100,000 and make the runners-up go home smiling too as AIM and its sponsors step up to create the richest awards rundown in series history.<\/p>\n \u201cWe told you that 2023 would be a remarkable year for AIM, and what will be waiting for teams on the Rock River at Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin is only one example,\u201d said Denny Fox, AIM national tournament director. \u201cThis package will be more than doubled from previous championships, and we\u2019re also adding more spice to the pot for second through fifth place finishers too when we visit there in June. Both AIM and our sponsors decided that we would upgrade everything and make that first-place prize into a showcase boat that will be ready to fish from day one.\u201d<\/p>\n As previously announced, the winning Shootout team will be going home with a huge boat upgrade from Warrior. The V193<\/a>, is nearly a foot longer than the previous prize. Standard equipment aboard includes a walk-through tinted windshield, four chairs, an aerated baitwell and two livewells, a bow cooler, a 48-gallon fuel tank and a lot more goodies, all strapped down to a tandem axle trailer.<\/p>\n \u201cThat boat needed a bigger motor, so we went to Yamaha, and they also delivered: A new super-sexy V 6 V MAX SHO<\/a> 200-horsepower four stroke,\u201d Fox continued.<\/p>\n \u201cNow, we also know how much everyone likes Garmin, so we\u2019re putting a new Garmin Force<\/a> trolling motor on the bow, and next to it will be one of two Garmin Echomap\u00d4 93SV<\/a> sonar units aboard, with the other at the captain\u2019s console.<\/p>\n And, waiting inside that ginormous Warrior rod locker will be 8 of Rosemore Outdoor Gear<\/a> rods, ready for both anglers jigging and rigging. Rod shelves will hold up to 12-footers.<\/p>\n That\u2019s for first. Want more, you say? Coming right up.<\/p>\n \u201cThis year, the second-place team will be toting home not one, but a pair of Mercury<\/a> kicker four strokes easily worth $7,000. And for third through fifth place? From Power-Pole<\/a>, they get a Power-Pole or the Power-Pole Charge onboard power management system,\u201d Fox said. All this and free entry for the 30 qualifying boats in this year\u2019s event (next year it\u2019s 40 including from the new Rivers Division) makes the Shootout even more enticing to shoot for in 2024.<\/p>\n Next, as AIM Opening Day gets closer, a look at what competing at Fort Atkinson means to some team members who qualified for this year\u2019s Shootout, what it took to get there, and how they\u2019re preparing to fish a system they won\u2019t be on until a few days prior to launch.
