Wiebe and Tully Win KBI

A raw rookie and a relative newcomer to the Shaw Kenora Bass International have claimed first top spot in the 25 annual edition of the fishing tournament.

Aaron Wiebe and Peter Tully from Winnipeg came from behind to win SKBI this year.

They had the biggest weight on day three, pulling in a basket of 18.85 pounds of bass.

That gave them a three day total of 52.61 pounds, almost a pound better than day two leaders,

Ben and Jim Gustafson of Kenora ended up finishing second overall.

Wiebe and Tully won over 22 thousand dolllars for their victory.

Third place went to Jess Swenson and Mike Reid from Sioux Narrows.

In the Can/Am Challenge, Team Canada easily prevailed over Team USA, winning by just over 23 pounds.
