AIM Pro Walleye State Championship on Cass Lake

What is the AIM Pro Walleye State Championship?
The AIM Pro Walleye State Championship is a premier annual fishing tournament held at the Cass Lake City Ramp in Cass Lake, Minnesota. Scheduled for September 5-6, 2025, this exciting event draws professional anglers eager to display their walleye fishing expertise in a competitive freshwater environment. It follows the AIM Catch-Record-Release™ format, allowing teams of pro and co-anglers to measure each legal walleye’s length, photograph it, and then release it back into the water. This sustainable practice not only protects the fishery but also presents a unique challenge for the participants.

To join in the thrill of the AIM Pro Walleye State Championship, teams must pay an entry fee of $500. Registration will close on September 3, 2025, so be sure to secure your spot early.

The tournament will kick off with Flight 1 (Boats 1-50) starting at 7:00 AM and Flight 2 (Boats 51-100) at 7:15 AM. Return times will be scheduled for 3:00 PM and 3:15 PM respectively, ensuring a well-organized event.
