Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | I am happy to announce first of all that TomyV will be assisting me in organizing this event, between the limited brain power of his and my minds combined, we have already come up with a number of improvements in the tournament format to make this event better in 2003!
However, the preliminary plans we are making are going to be reliant on the number of teams that we have participating, so please add your name to this thread if you are planning on getting in to the tussle! I will try to constantly update this post to show how many teams are in. THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL SIGN-UP, but the way we are hoping to run the tourney this year, there will probably be no one who is left out. Also, if we can run it the way we are hoping to, every team will be guranteed at least 2 days of fishing (June and July), instead of the single elimination that we ran last year. ALSO, though I am not going to give out all the details right now, we are coming up with plans that will eliminate the "double blank" advancement issues....not to worry, we are on the case! If you have more suggestions, please put them on Ranger's thread also on the board, otherwise, just use this thread to enter your team name (name and participants, see my example below....all I can say is....BRING IT!!!
1. Team Muskie For Lunch (Boro/Slamr)
2. TomyVs Roving Band Of Howler Monkies (Tomyv/FisherpersonX)
3. Team Long-Shots (Jim_K/Mike)
4. Team Bite Me (Extreme One/Sanks)
5. Team Rubberhairy (MuskieE/Bob)
6. Team Gnogh (Cady/Duck)
7. Team Stella Blue (Ranger/?)
8. Team Dark Horse (Schuler/?)
9. Team Redneck (Esoxalot/Mavsmuskyb8)
10.Team Musky Pippo & Poppo (Musky Pippo/Pops)
11.Team Rivermen (TrophyMuskie/?)
12.Team Walking Bulls (Sworrall/Beav)
13.Team Knuckin Buckleheads (VMan)
14.Team Clubbin' (Krappie and Frogger)
15.Team Dave (Mehaheeb/DaveDilley)
16.Name TBA (Sluggo/Theedz)
17.Name TBAII (MarkH/Jono or Jason_Smith)
18.CC Riders (PunchandJudy)
19.Young Guns (MNEsox/?)
20.Name TBAIII (NWild/Troyz)
21.Team SlamrSux (MuskyFever/Luke_Chinewalker)
22.Fuskie Muckers (Eggy, Rogea)
23.The Silicone Slingers (Travis & Chad of the Kopke Clan)
24.Name TBAIV (Roger Watters/JoMusky)
25.Team ShepIsHatedBySlamr (GregM/Shep)
26.Team BuckeyesFanNeedsAPartner (BuckeyesFan/?)
27.Team EsoxJunkie (Mr. EJ/Little EJ)
28.Name TBAV (ChadG/Lone Stone)
-To run the tourney by the format that me and TomyV are looking at right now, we are going to need 32, 48, or 64 teams....but something over 32 can work, just a little less even.
Slamr
*will someone PLEASE fish with Sponger this year? maybe DocEsox? find a millionare muskie fisherman pay the airfare each round to bring the 2 togeter on LOTWS!
**SOMEONE beat Trophymuskie!!! Schuler, you are the dark horse already here, I am hoping YOU are going to be the one to do it!!!

| No, P&J, you didn't miss the sign up, this is just an informal poll that Slamr is doing.
I think I'm going solo again this year, or maybe with my 10 y/o daughter. Anybody near me (Iron Mountain, MI) looking for a partner? |

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Ok- not sure what's happening here, tried posting this 3-4x. Ranger- If you still don't have a partner, I'm up for doing some fishing in the Yooper + we could possibly do August match on LOTW. Besides I need a good excuse to spend some time fishing w/ you again & we can do some field testing on a couple of new lure prototypes ;-))) Al Warner Zalt NAD http://www.thenethouse.biz "Welcome to the chum bucket"

| Slamr must be mad at me for pointing out the error of his ways, as I plainly made it clear I am in. Yet I see no mention of my name in the line up.
Can I take Sponge as a pard, and can he fish with me via teleknesis? |

I don't think Slamr likes you, at least that is what he told me:)LOL

| My 10 y/o daughter, Rachel, is my official partner. She fished half of last year's first match with me and she says she really wants to do it a again this season. She's a "good little hook" and she's an ace netter, to boot. Very lucky, too. This year her new rig is a Bantum Curado on a sturdy All Star rod, 80# PowerPro and Dad's homemade leaders. You guys are in trouble.
Thanks for the offer, Al! |

Location: God's Country......USA..... Western Wisconsin | Checking schedules etc. and finding not much extra time but I would sure like to be in again this year. I will have to have a team name change however. That "winning team" thing didn't help last year. We caught a fish but did not advance.

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | OK- The Muskie Maniacs are in - myself (ESOX Maniac) and Xavier (Fishin' Maniac). May be soliciting substitute partner depending on weather conditions. ESOX Maniac is outfitted w/ a death grip bar on the lefthand seat Xavier is my 4 1/2 year old grandson- Fired up ESOX Maniac on Sunday. Xavier was pumped about going fishin w/ Papa. Stood on the front deck for a solid hour casting at a bucket in the driveway. Ranger- We'll see you & Rachel in the finals- by then Xavier should be as good as you are at handling a net.
