The World Walleye Association was established in 1999 as a grass-roots organization with the vision of bringing competitive tournament fishing to anglers on their home waters. The World Walleye Association’s format of team tournament fishing was designed by fishermen for fishermen. In the spring of 2017 the WWA changed from private ownership to being run and managed by a Board of Directors made up of WWA competitors. As of 2018, the WWA is officially a Not-For-Profit organization that strives to return over 100% of tournament entries back to the competitors. All are encourage you to get involved.
