Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The weather was rough out there but the fish willing to show as 14 fish were registered in the Minnesota Muskie trail Championship on Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota today. Winds were brisk out of the northwest, and the high temperature was 39 degrees. Turnover has been complete for over a week, according to Paul Hartman, Executive Director of the Trail.
Team number 24 has three fish, a 40, a 48, and a 44, to lead on day one. Several others doubled.
Gliders and jerk baits were hot worked out over the edges.
We will be updating the leaderboard as we get the corrected text files tonight or tomorrow morning!

| Nope... I don't think Treats registered as myself unless the Bob Turgeon I spent the last three days in a boat with was wearing a rather good halloween outfit.
Besides, this was my first musky tournament I have ever fished in and why would Treats need to register as meses?
Congratulations to the winners and everybody else who participated.
It was fun meeting the likes of youses...

Location: Watertown, MN | Congrat to Luke and Chris, Kevin and Todd and the rest of the field, 22 fish caught with less that 30 boats in the field. Typical fall Tonka, tough bite with small windows, we got burned running day 1, day 2 fishing hooked fish. Great job by Paul and his sponsors, especially Frankie Bait/Ranger Dealer for their time and money and what they are doing to support MN great Musky fishery. The number of fish caught, and number of big fish caught blows away any other circuit out there. It is a only circuit with legit chances at 50" class fish at each event, 4 of the 5 events had 50" class fish registered except Tonka, but I know somebody above got a big girl friday.
Congrats
