John and Chandler Aarfor, Fargo, claimed first place with 37.63 pounds of walleye. Krieger and Ellingson were a close second with 37.53 pounds, enough to capture the season title. Other top efforts from the duo included first place at Fort Stevenson State Park on June 20 and third place on Lake Audubon May 23.
The top five teams from the season standings and the ND Championship earned invitations to the AIM National Championship to be held next year at a location yet to be determined.
