Thanks |

| Better Questions:
Does anybody know if someone is going to run the muskie tournament series that they were talking about?
2 tournaments in MN and 2 tournaments in WI plus a Championship?
150% payout?
TIA,
O.T. |

| Rumors are about 4 events. Much higher payouts. 2 WI and 2 MN, will be team events. Rumors are it's going to be a top notch circuit and details will be out in a couple weeks. |

| I heard pineview in Utah, Greenwood in NJ, Kinkaid in IL, and Rebbecca in MN for the championship.... |
|

|
| Is the potential new WI/MN circuit completely seperate from the PMTT and the WMT? I have not heard anything about this yet, but it sounds interesting.
Do you think there will be enough interest to support another cirtcuit? Both the PMTT and WMT were down fairly significantly in entrants this year I beleive.
Both circuits are run very well and still paid out a lot in money, even with reduced entries. |

| First place in the regional qualifiers is rumored to pay out $30,000.00. If you catch a muskie, you should cash a check in most events. Professionally run, top notch promotion for the fishermen and their sponsors, a no entry fee championship with a $40,000 minimum first place (not a boat, cash)and a check for all Championship qualifiers. Incentives and other prizes.
Can/Am North American Shootout is a possibility, too. Pitting best Canadian Teams against best US Teams.
Sources tell me the details will be out in a few weeks. |

| 150% payout in the PMTT???? What are you smoking?? It must be pretty good... What percent have they paid in the past? I am not sure but think its between 50 and 75% of the total entries... What kind of changes warrant 150% payout? I'd like to hear more, but believe the line of 150% payout is total BS.

| The PMTT e-mailed me about a week ago and gave me their schedule as follows. April 4-5 @ Cave Run, May 2-3 in Illinois, June27-28 @ Eagle River Chain, Sept. 12-13 in Minn., October 10-11 Championship. Don't know about any divisions from that. |

|
| Sorry... I reread and would like to hear more about this new trail. Sounds interesting but a little hard to believe.

obviously it would require some real investment by sponsors in order to create payouts of that level. that's how it gets done in the world of walleye and bass tournaments at least.
to make it worthwhile for the sponsors would mean demonstrating that there's enough of a following by muskie anglers to make it a good advertising investment.
if it happens, i know i'd be very interested in fishing it.

Location: Freedom, WI | If the PMTT championship is OCT. 10 and is on the Fox River Green Bay that is the same weekend as the best of the best that has been there for the last 3 years. Dumb move on the PMTTs part if so. |
|
| |
|
| It wouldn't be the first time the PMTT has scheduled an event without checking to see if there were any other events there at the time. |
|
| |
|
| Lets hear more about the tournaments with 150% payout... I am thinking if it is true and in WI and MN, they should have no problem filling up... If it is true... Nothing but a rumor at this point... Also if it is true, it may be very, very tough year for some other trails.

Location: Clintonville, Wi | I wouldn't think the WDNR would give PMTT a permit for GB if the "Best of Best" is scheduled for the same weekend. At least I'd hope not. Boy, 100+ boats fishing a 4 sq. mile area that would suck. Nevermind, thats what it's like now on the weekends. |

| Hey Pfeiff-
This tourney sounds too good to be true. Don't hold your breath on this one... The people I have talked to don't know who is behind it and are skeptical as well. |

Location: Rhinelander. | I agree with that. be wonderfull if someone could start a trail with 90% payback and pay down better. I think most of us are happy with 20 grand for first. Its getting a payout down to about 15th thats decent is whats hard. Wish them luck whoever they are.

| It's in process now. MAC (Muskie Angler's Circuit) is looking to be a reality, and will be releasing more information soon. this is a totally new organization made up of manufacturers who will sponsor this circuit.
Stand by for more, and watch for them at the Tri Esox Show. |

Location: Medford, WI | This would be pretty sweet. It would be great if I could fish it right away, but being a poor college guy, I'm not sure if that will be able to happen. More importantly, it opens up the doors for the future. Can't wait to see/hear more.
