Some things are just too important to cancel, and organizers of the Emo Walleye Classic felt the annual tournament was one of them. To keep the spring tradition alive, the event went contactless, with anglers from both sides of the border venturing out with cameras in hand, to document their catches virtually. Anglers were asked to stick to their side of the border, and submit their catch through photos, videos and an app. Although the weather was gloomy at times, and the tournament lacked its usual pomp, it was still enjoyed by participants. These are the 2021 winners:
