I saw this press release and it mentions Scott Witkop from Duluth. Does anyone know who this is?

Very interesting. No never heard of Scott Witkop and I fish a lot of tournaments and recognize a lot of names around here, in and out of our fishing leagues. Still a very cool accomplishment to make a national fishing team.
Hey Sully are you going to be fishing the Red Wing Area on April 8th weekend? Several of us will be down there.
I don't recognize any name on that list....... but then again I don't follow the tournament trail that closely, just some of the PWT shows on TV.
Doug, you'll have to chat with Steve. I've been giving him the run down of what's going on from my perspective. I'm going down there for two moredays this weekend.
I'll try to help you guys out as much as I can.
