Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Many of you have gotten this in an email, many more will in the next few days.....if you have gotten it, please pass it on, if you havent, take it here and pass it on. Maybe it's just me, but whenever I run an event for the site, I'm always afraid NO ONE is going to sign up. We NEED TO GET a full field of 48 teams, the more we get the word out, the better our chances are to get to that full field. This year promises to be bigger and better. Less rules discrepancies, more trash talking, and this year I WILL advance out of pool play!
MuskieFIRST.com is proud to announce the 3rd year of MatchFISHING for 2004. For those of you not already familiar with MatchFISHING, it is a free event which pits anglers from across the range of the muskie against each other in fierce but friendly competition. Regardless of the waters that each team in MatchFISHING decides to hunt for the days’ competition, they are still matched up against another team (which may or not be on the same waters) who is working equally as hard to lure the elusive muskie into the boat. MatchFISHING allows for the great distances which may separate the teams involved by merely requiring that the teams “match up” on the same day.
Each of the previous years have seen new changes and refinements to the structure of the event and this year is no different. Expanding from a Pool Play system of 8 pools of 4 teams, MatchFISHING will in 2004 be expanded to 16 pools of three teams each. This year each team will match up against each of the other teams within their pool to determine the winner of the pool. Pool play will run for the months of June and July, with the winners from the pools then facing off tournament style throughout the months of August, September, and October, with the King of MatchFISHING being crowned from November’s results.
Joe Mellott and Ralph Florio defeated Norm Wild and a partner in 2003’s tourney to take the title…now with an expanded field who will take the prize? The event is free to enter with prizes to be rewarded for the winners. The rules are strict, the competition intense, but the goal is fun and to get to interact with other members from throughout the muskie world!
Sign up is the second Wednesday of May with competition kicking off June 1st! Make sure to check out the MuskieFIRST.com (http://www.muskiefirst.com) message boards for further updates to the happenings of the 2004 MuskieFIRST MatchFISHING Tournament.

Location: Wheeling, IL. | I am new to the sight and just starting to get serious about Musky. I would like to join if someone with a boat needs an anchor! I am in the NW burbs of Chicago. I may have a couple of conflicts and am not sure how they are worked out. Will be out of town at LOTW from July 6 -12 and then on a cruise from August 14-22. Hope I can be part of this years fun!!!

| TEAM THERAPY has it's hooks sharpened...so don't get too close to our boat or we'll sling a Bull Dawg your way, snap a picture while holding a spatula against your backside, and rack up the points!
