Grafton, N.D. (AP) A special deer gun hunting season opens at noon Friday in northeastern North Dakota.

BISMARCK, N.D. — With an Angler of the Year title and four PWT victories, Tommy Skarlis is one of the most accomplished anglers in professional walleye fishing. But up until today, his resume had one glaring omission: a Walmart FLW Walleye Tour Championship victory.

The Waukon, Iowa, angler found his honeyhole with teammate and friend Ross Grothe on the second day of practice. The area, located near the mouth of Beaver Creek, took 45 minutes to reach each morning from the launch site at...
