Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Ok, Who will promote this, and when ,will this event become a reality ?
I'm ready to fish an event like this,........ as long as it's held in Mn.
What do you think?? Where are all of the risk takers ?

| the Pro-MAC is already doing this in 2012. they're guaranteeing $100k prize for 1st place in their championship at the end of next season. i'm hopeful that the new 40" minimum in WI will require them to adopt an immediate release format. |

From what it sounded like at the Championship he will be going to the immediate release format. Also I could be wrong but I thought he said that he will be keeping the 34" size limit for the tourneys. |

| But Top H20 said MN well we all know Jerome travels a lot farther than Wisconsin for a lot less prize money! another big "open" event in MN would be sweet, but a shot at $100k is cool anywhere.
From what it sounded like at the Championship he will be going to the immediate release format. Also I could be wrong but I thought he said that he will be keeping the 34" size limit for the tourneys. good news. if they use immediate release they should be able to use the smaller size for tournament scoring. this is a perfect example of a good law forcing a business to do the right thing for the resource. |

Yes, this has been done before, but only 80 teams showed up,....... $80,000 was won by a team from cheese land....... I think it was successful, and it drew The Top Muskie Sticks on the planet.
The entry fee for a 2 man/woman team was $2,500.
I'm ready ! Are You???

| I was in the first 'MEGA' tournament and I had a blast!!!,,,$2500 entry fee and it was worth it,,,,I agree with Jerome Id be in but only Minn and it would have to be at least a 3 day format like the old one,,,I DO NOT want to spend 3 days of my life on something like Eagle River and sort through a bunch of 34 inchers |

Location: Black Creek, WI | Wow. Thanks for the Flash Back, Steve! HH... I agree with you... but why settle for 3 days? I liked the 3-day qualifying round and 2-day elimination format the SF Tourney used. If your gonna go big.... go BIG. At least the Pro-Mac makes you qualify for the Championship by fishing other events... so the "one hit wonders" are somewhat reduced. Losing $250 to Joe Lunchpail in a 2-day tourney isn't hard to swallow... but if I'm gonna donate $2500 to a team... I'd like them to truly earn it in my opinion. It was difficult getting a full field of 100 teams for the first event and trying to do it again the following year was just TOO steep for most people's budget (even during good economic times). So, if a $2500 entry fee tourney was to return.... how often could it be held? Every other year? Once every 5 years? Would even a one-time event fill up? |

i would like to see it every 4 years then that way people know that if they dont get in its a long time till the next one,,If you had one every year people will say to themselfs 'ahhh I'll get in next year" and you wont get the big field,,,,also the beauty of the first mega was it was registration like a year in a half before it was held and you could pay your enrty fee in steps instead of ante up all at once which I think was got people in
The first mega had its flaws but overall Bob M put on a great event that I know I enjoyed and that was without winning anything. |

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Sooooo,...... Lets do this thing!
One big Tournament every 3 or 4 years is a good idea,... And promote it 2 yrs in advance......Keep the field at 100 boats and 3-5 day event.

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Paul Hartman, where are you?
He would do a Great job,..... As a side note maybe use 5- 10% of the entry fee for DNR musky stocking.
Shawn K. is good at organizing things? |
|
| |
|
| ....or a $1000 / team fee and it's winner take all. Limit of 10 teams...20 teams...... a couple weekends a year..... |

| I don't get it, Herb. You must be looking for a reason to leave your wife? |

Location: Maple Grove, MN | No. Looking to prevent that. Wife would get really ticked if I even mentioned a $2500 tourney entry fee. I just might need a lawyer.....
The truth is that my wife would never divorce me. She owns her own shotgun and can shoot. No need for a divorce.

| I think Tom was clearly trying to keep his cards close to his chest when describing next year's schedule at the Championship (where, yes I KNOW I didn't catch a fish) but....it sure sounded to me like there was going to be both Pro-MAC and WMT events (maybe one tour made of one-day stuff and the other with two-day).
He also didn't come right out and say the transport days are over....but they clearly are over. I have no doubt he will adopt some sort of combination of photos, judge-boats etc to measure fish that are 34 inches to the new limit size and, MAYBE allow guys with a really big fish to transport it if they feel like it. Anyway it goes I like his events, and plan to fish in them again next year! Marty |

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Marty,..... what does this have to do with a $100,000. Muskie Tournament in Minn.??
Keep with the thread Man.
I will not fish a transport event anywhere, It's just Stupid! Stick with the topic.

| Well, Exuuuuuuuuse MEEEEEEE! If you scroll upward in this thread, you will find four other posts that seem to state a lack of understanding or some sort of wondering about the Pro-MAC or WMT. I was just saying what I thought might be some answers. Anyway, it certainly seems clear to me that since the MN guys need to come to Wisconsin to watch NFL football played in a, more or less, professional fashion.....well, they'd be interested in other events that occur here. Really, no offense meant to occur here--sort of like in the Metro-Dome! |
