Sturtevant, Wisconsin - Evinrude professional walleye angler and Isle, Minnesota native, Paul Meleen, has been crowned FLW Walleye Tour Angler of the Year for 2010. After a successful season, Meleen received the award with 818 points over six qualifying events, after fishing the required Eastern and Western divisions on the FLW Walleye Tour.
"We are extremely proud of Paul for winning this very prestigious award," stated Steve Laham, vice president, Sales, Marketing and After-sales Service for Evinrude. "He has worked hard to earn this position and adds another Angler of the Year title to our roster of eight wins since 2001," he added.
Meleen stated, "Winning Angler of the Year means I was the best out there in 2010 and that is something no one can take away from me. I could not have had the year I've had without the right equipment - powering with an Evinrude E-TEC allowed me to focus on my fishing, which has resulted in a winning season."
Meleen was also recently named to the Evinrude E-TEAM ambas
or program. E-TEAM members tour the U.S. outfitted with the most reliable outboard technology on the market, Evinrude E-TEC, sharing real experiences and interacting with fans via the brand's new blog - EvinrudeEteam.com, and E-TEAM Facebook, YouTube and Flickr pages.
Meleen will get the opportunity to add to his career earnings of over $100,000 at the 2010 FLW Walleye Tour Championship, to be held September 22-25 on Leech Lake in Walker, Minnesota.
