Well, I know the Bismarck AIM event really helped out the contestants as the fish were spawned out. My friends 27.5" was given a weight of 8 lbs when in reality, it was a 5 lb fish. I'm sure it evens itself out throughout the year.
It looks like the conversion chart is already on the heavy side in my opinion. Which is fine, its fun to see big weights.

Also too, if your fish touched the line you could bump the length up. So if your fish touched the 15 inch mark, you could bump it to 15 1/4 for length.
Catching fish wasn't the hard part, trying to take pictures and measuring proved to be the hardest thing to do. We had to pull out of our spot every time to score a fish. Even then we had to do it fairly fast or the waves would send us into the rocks.
To develop our AIM Length-to-Weight Conversion Chart, we looked at 3 different published Gov't and University data sources (we averaged them). Big fish do get a premium and that is one of the more exciting aspects of our format in my opinion. Go out and blast the 5 biggest fish you can find with no decisions on which fish to keep or any slot considerations. You catch it...it counts. I think its the fairest format in tournament walleye fishing today. It's the same for all teams and it really takes out of play a lot of the "stuff" that may go on in some of these team tournaments. The teams that did well had good kickers and many of those fish were caught in the last few minutes of the tournament day. Congrats to all the teams that cashed in and I encourage everyone to try and get to Devils Lake and fish with AIM on July 10th if you haven't already signed up.

Which one of you crazy bastages decided to run to the embankment on Sunday? I seen somebody setting up a chiropractor appointment on their way back west early afternoon sunday. Holy smokies, wham, wham, wham, idle idle idle, wham wham wham, idle idle idle...
