| On September 15th and 16th the WORLD MUSKIE TOURNAMENT SERIES™ (WMT Series™) will be concluding the PROFESSIONAL MUSKIE ANGLER CIRCUIT™ (Pro-MAC™) regularly scheduled 2012 season of qualifying tournaments with the Lake Namakagon AUTUMN MUSKIE CLASSIC OPEN™. The Lake Namakagon AUTUMN MUSKIE CLASSIC OPEN™ is the sixth and final qualifying event for the 2012 Pro-MAC™ season that will determine the top fifty teams receiving invites for muskie fishing's most prestigious event at the WMT Series™ Championship™. Already the 2012 WMT Series™ has had enough early participation during the regular season to "crush" the previous record for the biggest Muskie Tournament Circuit Championship cash pay-out of $55,000.00 that was set in 2011 by the WMT Series™. As more and more teams enter in to the remaining qualifier for the 2012 regular season, the Championship's pay-out will continue to increase. The Eagle River Chain of Lakes will be the setting for the history making 2012 WMT Series™ Invitational Championship™ on October 6th & 7th.
All of Lake Namakagon, and its connecting Spring Lake and Garden Lake, will be open for the competitors to fish on. This year marks the first time the WMT Series™ has hosted a tournament, qualifier or Championship, on Lake Namakagon and it is long overdue. Lake Namakagon reputation as a trophy muskie fishery is well documented and the temptation for the WMT Series™ has been far too great for too long. With our new procedures in place and working extremely well, it now allows us to host an event on Namakagon counting any muskies 34 inches or greater because of our WDNR approved "immediate release" format. Now that such a great muskie fishery is open for us to compete on, the WMT Series™ has already scheduled the 2013 Invitational Championship™ to be hosted on Lake Namakagon September 28 th and 29th, which is only a difference of thirteen days from this year's qualifier and next year's Championship, making the 2012 Namakagon qualifier a great opportunity for tournament anglers to learn a great deal, giving them a distinctive edge at the 2013 Invitational Championship The 2012 Pro-MAC™ Lake Namakagon AUTUMN MUSKIE CLASSIC 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 Lake Namakagon muskie qualifying tournament still has some open spots remaining.
