The WHOW Tournaments enable veterans to connect with fellow veteran heroes to establish invaluable, potentially lifelong bonds. These powerful connections help create lifelines that enable them to continue healing from the wounds of combat.
Walleyes for Warriors was founded by Nels Larsen, an avid Saginaw Bay walleye fisherman and Vietnam veteran (1968-1970). The idea for Walleyes for Warriors came from a similar veteran’s fishing event Nels attended in Manistee, Michigan called Tight Lines for Troops. It was such an emotional day, a “Welcome Home” experience many vets didn’t get to experience when they returned home from war. Nels wanted to be able to have other vets experience the same thing. That’s where the idea for Walleyes for Warriors began. Nels has since transitioned the event to Bay City Elks Lodge #88. We are honored to present this event for our area veterans. Saginaw Bay is an exceptional walleye fishery and we want to be able to share this experience with our veterans.
We provide recreational therapy and leisure activities for people who have served in the US Military.

The primary mission of VSA is to get injured and disabled Veterans out of the house and hospital, and into the therapeutic surroundings of nature and outdoor adventure.
VSA has enabled our heroes that have suffered double and triple amputations to experience outdoor adventures they most likely would not be capable of doing on their own.
VSA has sponsored deer and hog hunts, as well as tuna, bass, and salmon fishing trips.
VSA is currently organizing kayaking, hiking, and golf trips as well. Even more exciting, the VSA & Hot Rod Service Company have been working on a Mustang Project and will soon be scheduling “Track Day Events,” and putting our Veterans behind the wheel at race tracks across America.
