Musky Mania 43, May 2009
Tournament Winners
|
MM43 events began during the Friday evening cook out which was attended by most everyone. The weather was great, the fire felt good and anticipation was running high as folks talked about fish that were caught during the pre fishing days before MM43.
MM43 is in the books with a total of 7 fish caught and as expected fishing was as musky fishing always is. Some saw fish, some did not. Some caught fish, some did not. The field or 29 fishermen took to the waters of North and South Twin on Saturday morning with wind kicking in as it sometimes does on the Twins. This made for some rough fishing conditions but the troops endured the conditions to put two fish in the boat on Saturday morning. Glenn Melius and Musky Pete boated fish with others spotting fish. At noon the lunch was served in the North Twin Lodge recreation hall where Corey Earl, last falls winner put on a heck of a feed with shredded turkey, baked beans, pasta salad and all the rest of the stuff to go with it. The raffle was a big success once again with 5 great prizes given away and then everyone obtained a door prize in that drawing. After lunch it was off to fish other waters for most to get out of the wind and although only two fish were caught one fish caught by Dick Grasse will go down as the smallest musky ever caught in MM history with is 9" musky. Gordie Shaw was able to boat a fish on one of his favorite lakes in the area. |
Sunday was not much different than Saturday morning with folks going to many other lakes in search of the winning fish. There were 3 fish caught on Sunday morning, two by Mark Melius and the winning fish was caught by newbie Wayne Beyer on Snipe Lake. His 41 1/4" monster hit a Mepps bucktail and the fight was on.
Congratulations to Wayne Beyer for catching the winning fish on his first ever Musky Mania. I am sure there will be many more in your future as the musky fever has hit.
