| After July's month long of tournament hiatus for the WORLD MUSKIE TOURNAMENT SERIES™ (WMT Series™), the PROFESSIONAL MUSKIE ANGLER CIRCUIT™ (Pro-MAC™) will pick up the 2012 season of competition with the MUSKIE SUMMIT OPEN™ on the Three Lakes Chain August 4th and 5th. The Three Lakes MUSKIE SUMMIT OPEN™ is the third of six qualifying events for the Pro-MAC™ with the season ending champions of the Pro-MAC™ being determined by the team who has the most points throughout the year. Angling teams will not only be competing to win the Three Lakes MUSKIE SUMMIT OPEN™ but also to be one of the top fifty (50) finishing teams during the 2012 Pro-MAC™ season to qualify for muskie fishing's biggest prize at the WORLD MUSKIE TOURNAMENT SERIES™ (WMT Series™) Championship™ where a first place prize could net a team $100,000.00 and $160,000.00 cash purse if minimum participation is met. Already the WMT Series™ has had enough participation in the first half of the 2012 regular season to break the previous record for the biggest Muskie Tournament Series Championship cash pay-out of $55,000.00 that was set in 2011 by the WMT Series™. As we continue to accept new entries for the remainder of the 2012 season regular scheduled qualifiers, the Championship's pay-out will continue to increase. The historic record setting 2012 WMT Series™ Championship™ will be held on the lower section of the Eagle River Chain of Lakes October 6 th & 7th.
Earlier in the season, the Pro-MAC™ made a stop at the Three Lakes Chain in June with the MUSKIE GUERDON™ that didn't disappoint producing thirty five (35) scored muskies with twenty two teams earning critical qualifying points toward a chance to fish in the Championship. The Three Lakes MUSKIE SUMMIT OPEN™ is expected to duplicate or exceed the previous tournament success that might make the Three Lakes August qualifier the most important event of the regular 2012 Pro-MAC™ season for teams looking to secure their place at the Eagle River Championship. The Pro-MAC™ Three Lakes Chain MUSKIE SUMMIT OPEN™ tournament will have a purse of $31,000.00 when the field of competitors reaches one hundred and twenty five (125) teams. The cost to compete in a Pro-MAC™ event is $370 per two angler team for each event. The Three Lakes Chain muskie qualifying tournament still has some open spots remaining.
