Like many fishermen, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall can recall his biggest catch – a walleye 81 centimetres long that weighed 5.5 kilograms.
The premier laughs that the whopper was just luck.
But Wall says he also has a secret weapon heading into the 25th annual Saskatchewan Premier’s Walleye Cup in Nipawin this weekend.

Wall says his partner is a walleye fishing enthusiast who knows where the fish are in Tobin Lake, site of the tournament.
The Saskatchewan Party will pay Wall’s registration fee and it’s believed to be the first time a premier has cast his reel as a competitor.
Organizers have said the two-day, live release tournament is one of the largest walleye events in Canada.
