| Totally glad to try to help build event with the Sling Blade. Just want everybody to know this is not a "pro-staff" model with the limited warrantee. It's a brand new retail model ($369.00) and it carries the full factory warrantee. St Croix has allowed me to provide several of these rods for events where a worthy charity or Muskies Inc. chapter gets the benefit. So, half the thanks goes to the folks in Park Falls who make the "Best Rods on Earth!" |

| Saturday was a beautiful day to be on the water chasing muskies. Nice wind, great clouds...etc. 10 teams showed up to compete for cash while chasing muskies. And in the end? I'd say that the field beat the muskies. 7 fish were registered during the event.
First place went to Craig Ader and Isaac Lakich when they doubled up with a 34.5 and a (fat) 38 inch fish. Congrats to the winners who pocketed a cool $1039.50 in prize money.
Second place went to Brian Mirek and Will Govin when they netted a beautiful 47.5 inch fish! They collected $535.50.
Besides those fish, Jackson Graham caught a 34.5 inch fish. The ice queen herself caught a 37 (Lorie Scherf). Mike Koepp caught a 36 incher. And not only did John Ellis score a 34 inch fish, he also went home with the brand new St. Croix Legend Series Slingblade rod!
I want to give a special thanks to Rick at Smokey's Musky shop for helping host the event. I know that it was an early morning and Rick was there to talk shop about the lake and get suckers into livewells.
Another thank you goes to all the anglers who fished. Thanks to your entry fees, the club raised about $775 that will go directly back into the stocking fund for area lakes.
Photos should be up shortly on our website. www.milwaukeemuskiesinc.com

| I got these from Steve's post on the buy/sell...works for me when I follow the directions.
Open the image with Paint. Click the 'resize' option. Set the image to 640 pixels wide, save it to your desktop if you want to keep the original, or simply alter the original by closing Paint and answering the 'do you want to save changes' option with 'yes'. |

| Hey Junkman, This is Jon Ellis. I ended up winning the rod ! Thanks a lot for donating it ! I am really excited to try it now. I have been using a bulldawg rod with a Shimano Calcutta and this is a huge step up from what i've read and heard from others. I put the Calcutta on it but I'll have to convince the wife to let me buy another reel! lol Nice fish Lumpy !!! |

| Muskydreamer: this site has a great buy/sell forum. You find a reel you want, make a post asking for one and I'm sure you will get replies. If you ever want to, let me know when you are around and we can put some of my reels on the rod and see how you like the weight and setup. I have a stash of 6500C4's, Luna's, Revo Toro's, Calcutta TE's and 400B's.... We can match you up with something that you will like. And should you want new, Smokeys down the road would be a great place to look.
