Location: Stevens Point, WI | A new record was set at the PMTT Chippewa Flowage event with 28 fish in all, big fish up to 47.25” and a record of 5 fish caught on day two of the event that has never been done before. Scott Donovan and Chris Riebe both trail teams members from Illinois pulled out the victory after catching a record 5 fish up to 45” on day 2. They were able to locate the coolest water on the flowage by about 10 degrees and the muskies responded to their bucktail presentation.
The flowage water has been extremely warm this year, in the low 80’s for the most part. Donovan and Riebe didn’t care what kind of structure they were working except that this small area had cooler water flowing into it then the rest of the flowage and the fish were active and stacked up in there. We will have all the details and photos up shortly from an awesome event.
Unfortunately due to some computer issues, we will not have the full update, including Day 2 photos and Final Leaderboard on the website until Tuesday at the latest.
Here are the Top 15 Places:
1. Scott Donovan & Chris Riebe – 5 Fish
2. Guy Mittlestadt & Scott Kieper – 2 Fish
3. Tanner Wildes & Tom Olson – 2 Fish
4. Jeff & Joe Anderson – 2 Fish
5. Del Colvin & Jeff Kozlowski – 2 Fish
6. Austin Vig & Andrew Matz – 1 Fish
7. Brian Clepper & Chuck Smida – 1 Fish
8. Tom Ustaszewski & Jon Michalec – 1 Fish
9. Ben Olsen & Andy Hamm – 1 Fish
10. Jerome Morris & Eric Burquest – 1 Fish
11. Jim Stella & Ty Sennett – 1 Fish
12. Jason Summers & Troy Bilbery – 1 Fish

Location: Kinkaid Lake, IL | Thanks Jerry! I have received a ton of calls/emails and Chris and I appreciate the support. Our goal was to win a qualifier as the top gun team this year! Mission accomplished! There are some good sticks fishing the trail this year and we enjoy every minute of it!

Location: Normal, IL | Scott, I am curious as to the area of the Flowage where you guys caught your fish.
I have been going there since 1971, and know it fairly well. On Ty Sennett's site everyone is saying that it was a very unusual site to fish and Ty himself never fishes it, but no one is saying where you were at. Is it a creek coming into the flowage where you found cooler water? Does the area have a "local" name? Everyone has peeked my curiousity but Ty won't even say where you were at.

| Musky guys do not usually like to give up their hot spots or hot lures. Especially if they are on their local waters. |

Location: Normal, IL | I know that, I am a musky guy. Besides these were not thier local waters. I believe Scott and Chris are from Illinois! I am just curious where they found cool water on generally a shallow lake. I don't plan on going there to fish out the lake. In fact I have no musky trips planned this year because of the economy. |
