Capt. Mark Martin is the 1990 Professional Walleye Trail WORLD CHAMPION. Mark won the first PWT Tournament of Champions held at International Falls, Minnesota. This victory netted him $30,000.00 – at that time, the highest cash prize in history for a walleye tournament. This has earned him the disctinction of being “the Original Champ”.
Today Mark, as a fishing promoter travels extensively throughout the U.S. and Canada. He’s attends numerous tournaments, TV Shows, Outdoor Writer Events, Seminars, and teaches walleye wisdom – with special emphasis on leading kids fishing clinics. He also has published various books and videos to help walleye affiiciendos get more ‘eyes in the net.
In his home state of Michigan he’s been called “Mr. Walleye at Night”. He averages more than 600 walleye per season in the 6 to 12 pound range. The key to Mark’s success is a history of walleye fishing developed over three generations of Martins.
Mark is constantly working on perfecting established techniques and developing new ways to catch walleye. He also works at finding new and interesting spots to bring the media walleye fishing, so as better to educate and inform the country’s walleye fishing public.
