Businesses in Door and Kewaunee counties hope to reel in some of their own kings over the next week and a half as the Kewaunee/Door Salmon Tournament kicks off. The 43rd edition of the tournament welcomes anglers of all ages to participate after it awarded more than $100,000 in prizes and cash last year. Anglers bring their salmon to weigh-in at locations in Kewaunee, Algoma, Baileys Harbor, Washington Island, Sturgeon Bay, and Carlsville for their chance to win the top prize of $15,000. It is not just anglers who come to Kewaunee and Door counties, and they are not just here to fish either. Baileys 57 manager and K/D Tournament Secretary Kari Baumann says the event is a family tradition for many that takes them everywhere throughout the county.
The K/D Salmon Tournament begins on Friday and runs through July 20th.
