Musky Mania 29, June 2002
Tournament Winners
|
Musky Mania 29 is in the books as one where more fish were seen than ever before. Due to the late spring many fish were still in the shallows spawning which resulted in ease of spotting fish. Some boats reported seeing as many as 40 plus fish on Saturday, with everyone seeing lots of fish relative to musky fishing.
Although the weather was in the high 70's on Saturday, it was much cooler on Sunday with temperatures in the 50's. Winds were strong all weekend and resulted in many amps on the trolling motors being used. Despite all this 14 fish were registered. Since the two largest fish were the same length (38") 1st place is shared jointly by the winners and they have the pleasure of coordinating MM30 together. As is becoming the tradition, anyone winning money (top 5 places paid) will work with the winners in coordinating the next event. Thanks to the 36 fisherman and women who participated in MM29, hopefully everyone had a good time and will be looking forward to MM30 in the fall. All fish were released to grow and fight another day, a great job by everyone and I hope to see all at MM30 in the fall. Hopefully everyone that caught fish is listed above. Once again we encourage everyone who catches fish to register as this stirs interest in everyone who participates. |
Musky Pete's Story
MM29 is the first year that we have a Musky Mania Champ vest made which is passed on to the winner each year. All the winners from the past 28 Musky Manias are embroidered on the back with the year they won. Steve Harkness and Perry Clough have to share the vest for the 1st time it is given out. This is the first time we have the North Twin Lodge as our gathering place. Rates are great and they treat us really good. They have a nice recreation room for our awards and lunch. Lots of docking area and a boat landing. We decide this will be our permanent base for all our outing. Outings will be held the 1st weekend in June and the 2nd weekend in October.
