I think there were about 97 registered people for the event. I'm not sure how many fished past noon, due to the weather.

I think that between all boats there were like 70 follows, and 5 registered fish. My partner, Rich Vono, got a 39 incher that won the event. I think that Steve Berg got a 36.5 that took second and I'm afraid I don't know the name of the third place finisher or the size of his fish.

Raffle tables had a St. Croix Slingblade, Just Encase box full of baits and a 80# Terrova as grand prizes.

Silent auction tables had a few guide auctions including a fly trip or casting trip donated by Brian Mirek and a team autographed football sent in by the Green Bay Packers.

We had a great turnout at the dinner and people were very generous on the raffle tables. This is always the largest fundraiser for the local Muskies Inc. Chapter and proceeds generally go towards kids outings, veterans outings, speakers and local stocking efforts. Many thanks go out to every fisherman who participated!

Here is a picture of Rich and his winning fish, along with a 31 inchish pike that he also got.

Tough day. We stuck it out and found this fish, but dang, we got snowed/sleeted on 5 separate times.

Nothing was hot. Gliders seemed to move a few fish. The pike ate a little bucktail. Musky ate a 6 inch Jake.

Water temps were dropping all day, there was really no "magic" that I could identify. We waited until the end of the fishing time to fish a wind blown edge that was close to spawning grounds. The hope was that the wind had been beating on the spot all day and maybe the water had a little more oxygen in it. Maybe that is what got this fish to eat, maybe it was just luck. Either way, we will take it!

LOL. There was an informal survey during the dinner to try to tally up the follows. We had 5 up. 4 were low and slow. One was on the glider pretty good, just wouldn't eat. None that followed were over 35....for us that is. I did hear that a few big girls were seen, though....

Found 57 on the east end. 55 to 56 on the west end. Temps fell during the day. Should be climbing today with the weather out there.
