Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Been catching a few questions from different sides asking if we are still on for these events....answer is an ENTHUSIASTIC YES!!!
Here are some updates:
MatchFISHING: sign-up will be May 10th, first 32 teams are in, then the next number are alternates or will be taken in the case that a team from the 32 has to drop out.
-still debating the time frame, taking opinions to mind, cant say exactly the ruling yet.
-the first 32 are in, seeding within the pools will be determined by pulling from a hat.
-June 1st pool play begins.
Old vs. Young Petenwell Flowage Geritol/Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Sponsored Shoot-Out: still on, Petenwell Flowage, July 12th, early start.
-rules will be determined
-time and exact launch/food (during/after) locations to be worked out before hand.
Thats all for now, just wanted you all to know that these things are still on!

| I see chef Boy-R-Dee is in the kitchen again!:O Good idea to wait 'til the Jrs. are through final exams and out of school. Try and see how many of the Pepsi Generation will be vacationing w/ their families though, as not to have conflicting schedules! :O:O:O... |

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | At 42 years old looks like I will be fishing with the vets. I hope this date will not be the some time as any large tournies, like a WMT or something like that. PMTT is the weekend after. |

| I think there are some tourneys that weekend. M1 is fishing one, and I will be doing a 2 day tourney that weekend. Besides, it's my birfday that weekend, and as much as I love Slamr, there's no way I'm spending that day kicking his butt all over the Pete!
Sorry, but if the date don't change, I don't get to be on the winning team! |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Wanted to bring this up to the top with some info from the MuskieMedic (who has been workin hard to coordinate this, thanks MM!):
Here it is, the young vs. old, dated vs. fresh, call it what you want...the time has come to see who will walk away with bragging rights. The event will be held on the Petenwell Flowage, 23,000 acres of muskie water waiting to be cracked. The event will be held on July 12th 2003, launching from Petenwell County Park on the east side of the lake. The park offers an excellent launch, boat slips, 500 or so campsites with showers and many other things to make it a good place to hold this event. Currently I am still waiting to hear back about the status of a shelter for Muskiefirst to use for meeting and holding a cookout. Please watch this thread closely for final details to come about times and specifics. Feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] for information about the area.

| Petenwell could very possibly be the home of the next 50lb. musky in WI, IF Du Bay doesn't put one out first. Awful lot of food and sanctuary on that lake. |

Sounds good to me, you can drive to my place and we will go from here.

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | Slamr, I think some are close to the cutoff line in the age group that they don't want to talk stupid and end up on the other side. You on the other hand will talk until your finger bleed, then take your beating like a good boy on the water. I will take you down like I did before, oh ya you bowed out with a forfit after all that smack you posted about the match fishing contest last year. Let the games begin. |

| Slamr can talk all the trash he wants. He won't get to me, because I know, as well as M1 knows, that he finalized the date AFTER he knew we couldn't be there to kick his diapered a$$! He was scared, and did eveything he could to try to swing this in his favor. First he picked a date the M1 and I couldn't be there. Then, he switched the age from 35 to 40, but only after he found out Jenkins and Florio were just a tad over 35.
Don't matter what he does, the yougans will still get whupped. Kick some young behind Extreme One, Worrall, Teck, Don! Slamr, you keep shifting the rules in your favor, you'll have everybody fishing against Worrall, and you'll still get beat! |

| There are no youngsters that can out fish me and the other old timers. The Old Guard will crush the Diaper Brigade. There are no young muskie fishermen that can catch fish. We will sourround Petenwell with only the best fishermen. All you young guys are liars. You have rowboats that will be swamped by the great, fast boats of the Old Guard. You will be humiliated in your feeble attempt to try to catch muskies on this day. Surrender now, or be preapred to have your clocks cleaned. I will hand you your butts all alone. You are defeated before you even begin. |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Ranger,
I would feel really bad if you blew off your family only to be humiliated at the hands of a bunch of kids....better just stick with whiney brats running around and re-connecting with long lost family members you didn't miss or think about anyways. Sorry Ranger, the Geritol Generation will just have to accept defeat without you.

| I think the age limit may end up sliding down a bit. What with M1, Me, and Ranger unable to attend due to slippery Slamr's bending the rules in his favor, to even out the teams, I believe the age cutoff should be determined when the fields is set. Not that it matters to me, as I am being screwed out of fishing it, but I don't think it's fair that 20 boats will be fishing against the Extreme One, Teck, Baghdad Bob, and Worrall. I think that if you even the boat count out, you won't feel so bad when you get your butts handed to you by those 4 guys.
I can just hear the whining now. "Mommy, I'm cold. I'm hot. I'm thirsty. Mommy? When are we gonna go?. It's not fair! They have better boats than we do. Bunch of old guys. Mommy, he splashed water at me! Whaaaaaaa!"
Oh, and by the way. Slamr, you may not hire a guide to fish with! |

| Slamr,
It was only when you figured you'd get too cold in Octber, that you floated the July 12th date. You were told well before you settled on that date, that both M1 and I were fishing tourney's. Only thing I'm crying about is I can't be there to personally kick your sorry young a$$! I'll just have to leave mission that to my esteemed partners in age.
Tell you what, you reimburse my entry fee to the tourney, and I'll show up. Then you can take a sweet ____ off the snotty ___ of my stick! |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | If we can get 30 boats on the water in July, then let's worry about October....
Then again, even if we do get 30 boats....or 100 for that matter.....the Toothless Joes of the Older/Senile Generation will be still hanging their heads in shame come October (of 2010) from the defeat that the Young Guns are going hand out. So they may not want a re-match?
