    Subject: Save the Date – 2026 Bay of Green Bay Walleye Tournament (8/15/26)

    Attention all Anglers,

    The 2026 Bay of Green Bay Walleye Fishing Tournament is just around the corner! Save the date of 8/15/26 and join other anglers across all Tweet Garot locations for a chance to take home cash prizes and the 2026 trophy, custom made by the Wrightstown fabrication facility!

    This friendly tournament will use the Fish Donkey App, so anglers can fish from any launch they choose. That means you can stay in calmer water if winds pick up on tournament day, making it easier for smaller boats to participate too.

    What you need to know:

    • You may fish the tournament but must have at least one Tweet Garot employee on your team (2-person teams).
    • Measuring boards will be provided for use on the day of the tournament.
    • Walleye bag counts will be a total of your top 6 biggest fish.
    • You must follow all local and state fishing and boating regulations.
    • There is no Team of the Year payout, so feel free to fish one tournament or all of them!
    • An additional payout will go to the team that lands the shortest walleye.
      • The smallest walleye must be part of your 6-fish bag limit.
    • New this year: a bonus payout for the team with the largest non-walleye fish species.
      • That means catfish, sheepshead, pike, musky, and more all have a chance at taking home a prize!

    Award ceremony: Join us at D2’s (530 Larsen Orch Pkwy, Hobart, WI 54155) starting at 4pm for food, beverages, and prizes!

    A flier is attached that you can download and hang up for team members who may not have a Tweet Garot email, so they can learn about the tournament and join the fun!

    Results from Lake Wissota

    Beck and Jim Dominate the Field with Another First-Place Finish

    It was another gold medal day for Justin Beck and Jim Vitort, who powered through freezing early-morning conditions to claim first place in the latest tournament event.

    With temperatures hovering around 33 degrees at sunup, anglers launched into icy waters and biting wind as the competition got underway. Despite the cold start, Beck and Vitort quickly found their rhythm, locating active walleyes and building a lead that held strong throughout the day.

    The win marks Beck’s third first-place finish of the year and Vitort’s second, a remarkable achievement that underscores their consistency and teamwork. Many competitors have noticed a pattern: whoever teams up with Beck tends to go home with the gold.

    From trolling runs to jig-and-minnow and plastic presentations, the field displayed a wide range of tactics as teams searched for the right combination. While many anglers were open about their approach, Beck and Vitort remained characteristically reserved about their winning technique — a move that keeps the competition guessing.

    “They won’t say what they were using,” one competitor remarked, “so it’s hard to say what the best of the best had tied on.”

    Whatever their secret, the result speaks for itself — a strong bag limit and another commanding finish.

    The event wrapped up under clear skies, with teams returning to the landing tired but in high spirits after a cold, competitive day on the water. Congratulations to Justin Beck and Jim Vitort on another outstanding victory and a season that shows no signs of slowing down.

    Green Bay Walleye Tournament Results

    The TG Walleye Tournament came to Green Bay last weekend despite some curveballs thrown by mother nature. We had a solid turnout with six boats hitting the water and a dozen walleyes making their way onto the leaderboard. Conditions weren’t ideal, but the fish were cooperative enough to make things interesting.

    In the end, Tom Prange and Steve Dickey walked away with the win, bringing in a total bag that stretched out to an impressive 126.50 inches. Not far behind, Tanner Weise and Greg Wierzba locked up second place with 121.25 inches — and they weren’t done there. Tanner and Greg also grabbed bragging rights for both biggest fish (29.50”) and, surprisingly, the smallest fish (21.50”) of the tournament. Rounding out the standings, the boat with AJ Simonar, Pat Loritz, and Steve Adams brought in a 26-inch fish to claim third place.

    All in all, it was a fun day on the water with plenty of stories to go around.

    📅 Mark your calendars — the next tournament is set for September 8th on Lake Nokomis.

    Alex Bishop- Canada Trip

    Alex Bishop was nice enough to send his latest trip to Canada. If you don’t know Alex yet, you can find him in our Tomahawk location and the Safety Coordinator. Below is what Alex had to say about his trip along with some great pictures!

    “Last week, I traveled to Manitoba, Canada, for a duck hunting trip. My grandparents live in Manitoba, so we try to plan a yearly hunt. Some of the highlights from the trip include shooting a banded mallard and seeing four moose. Unfortunately, due to the warm weather, there weren’t as many migrating birds as we typically see, but it was still a great trip.”

The task was simple: If you listened to last week’s episode of the Outside TG podcast – which featured a fun interview with Wayne Glen – we said that the first person who emailed us at outsidetg@tweetgarot.com would win the rangefinder. That person was Heath Hagedorn. Heath is a Detailer on our De Pere Virtual Construction Team as well as a Local 18 Sheet Metal Journeyman. Congrats to Heath, and thanks for listening to the podcast!
