24 fish were caught today by 88 teams, and 25% were 50" or over. The leading team of Hamernick and Buechner had an absolutely incredible day boating 5 muskies up to 53.5". Paul Hartman, Executive Directior of the Minnesota Muskie Trail, reported that many teams had encountered fish in the 50" plus catagory, and that multipe presentations across the big lake boated fish.

Watch for the Minnesota Muskie Trail final day report tomorrow at about 5 PM!
just curious

Anyone know how many of the fish were taken trolling?

North half the lake versus south half?

Just curious

I would expect that the North half produced way more fish than the South half. That was the case for the Muskies Inc. event there a week ago. There were seven 50"+ fish caught in that event, with a total of 23 caught by 76 anglers over 3 days. Looks like our timing was just a week or so off.

Looks like the results from day 1 are the same as the Vermilion tournament. Both awsome fisheries.

WOW Jason Hammernick is incredible! Look up his results in MN tornaments and it is totally mind boggling! His name should be one of the first out of anyone's mouth when talking about the best muskie anglers on the planet!

Jason is on a roll this summer. I wouldn't count Tauchen out yet. Best around.
