Location: Waukee, IA | What's the plan for the playoff (fishoff?) I'm excited to get back to muskies after my crazy summer of complaining about the heat and fishing for white bass. I realize there is still at least one preliminary match, just curious about the format |

Location: North St. Paul, MN | The image attaching issue was happening for me a while ago, too...
Let's try this again.
*EDIT* Not sure what's going on with image attachments for me. My pictures used to show up just fine. Oh well.
Looking forward to playoffs!

Location: Clintonville, WI | Top six teams will advance to playoffs and be seeded by their point totals.
Top 2 teams will have byes. #3 will fish against #6 and #4 against #5.
Top seed will then face the lower remaining seed and 2nd seed will get the higher remaining.
We have the eight weeks in Sept and Oct to get five matches in. Nov should only be needed as a last resort month, say for example in the event of several tie matches.
When applicable, tie breakers can be found in the original MatchFishing post.
The same scheduling and photo proof rules apply. The fish scoring remains the same, but there will obviously be no need to award win/tie points and on water points. Winner on fish points advances.

Location: Clintonville, WI | The opening round is done and playoffs are set! What a finish by several teams.
Fargo Yacht Club gets a 41.5" in their last match 8/27 to sneak in the playoffs ahead of Team Handlin who also stuck a 39.5" in their last match on 8/27.
The longest fish of the opening round, Beef's 47" on 8/19/16 got them from out of the mix to the #4 seed!
9 fish caught in the last 6 matches between 8/17 and 8/27. Very exciting.
THANK YOU to all the teams for joining us in MatchFishing. MuskieFirst truly hopes you enjoyed the fun and appreciates your patronage of the web site. I look forward to doing this again next year.

The intent is to fish the quarterfinals through the final match (that is a total of five matches) by 10/31/16. Do what you can to get your matches scheduled promptly. November is a last resort month in the event of ties or schedule issues. Quarterfinal Info Teams have been seeded after the first round based on total points.
The #1 and #2 seeds will get byes in the quarterfinals.
The opening round quarterfinal matches will be #3 vs #6 and #4 vs #5.
Quarterfinals may begin at Midnight on 9/1/16. Get these matches schedules as soon as you can.
#1 Tretsven and #2 Bateski have byes.
#3 Dirty 30 vs. #6 Fargo Yacht Club
#4 Beef Supreme vs. #5 Musky Maniacs
Rematches are required in the case of ties, until one team wins. Semi-Final Info The semi-final round will be #1 seed vs the lowest remaining seed and the #2 seed vs the highest remaining seed.
The semi-final round will begin the day after the last quarterfinal match is fished. Rematches are required in the case of ties, until one team wins. Final Info The time period for the final match will begin the day after the last semi-final match is finished. Rematches are required in the case of a tie, until one team wins. If finals can not be completed by the last two teams on or before 11/31/16, total Fish Points from all qualified matches will determine the winner. If total fish points are a tie, the largest fish caught during all rounds determines the winner.

I'm hoping someone catches a fish. Wish we could have stretched the 30 we caught last match.
Not sure if you're a hawkeye fan but at least one fargo team won

Location: Clintonville, WI | Our first Semi-finalist has been determined.
Beef Supreme stuck a 43.75" beauty to beat Musky Maniacs. Musky Maniacs worked hard to battle a significant overnight cold front that had settled in and the Beefers moved a lot of fish with only one taker......one is all it took. Congrats to Beef Supreme for advancing and also to Musky Maniacs for a good run!
The Fargo YC and Dirty 30 rematch is this Saturday.

Location: Central IA | Beef Supreme has an out of town wedding we have to go to this upcoming weekend. We will be at the Muskies First fall outing and could fish Oct 13 or Oct 15 but we have a guide lined up on Oct 14 and will be driving home on Oct 16. Either day the weekend of October 22-23 would work although we prefer Saturday. I knew this wedding would bite us but I'm not brave enough to tell my wife that I "have" to fish. |

Location: Waukee, IA | Good match and good luck going forward, Fargo! My wife had the winner follow her in super hot a couple times but her figure 8 skills left a lot to be desired. Dirty 30 will be back next year, 2016 match fishing was a blast! Big thank you to BigMo for organizing it again

Location: Central IA | Tkuntz don't be too hard on your wife. My figure 8 skills are not up to par either. You've got a wife that fishes, sounds like a keeper to me.
Seems like the competition has shifted up a notch the last few weeks.
Lots of fun. Thanks to Big Mo for all the work. |
