WE HAD A FANTASTIC TOURNAMENT SATURDAY, AND GAVE AWAY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN PRIZE MONEY. THERE WERE NO TIES, BUT THERE WERE SOME CLOSE CALLS.

TOP PIKE WAS 7 LB
TOP WALLEYE WAS 5.5 LB
TOP THREE PERCH WERE 4. 11 LB
ALL THE FISH WEIGHED IN WERE FRESH AND HEALTHY, AND THERE WERE NO SUSPICIOUS WEIGH INS.
GRAND LAKE BROUGHT IN ALL THE PERCH, AND LONG LAKE HAD THE WALLEYE. THE PIKE WAS GRAND, AND THERE WERE A GOOD AMOUNT OF FISH FROM BOTH LAKES, THAT DIDN’T QUALIFY, BUT WERE VERY GOOD CONTENDERS.
THE WEATHER WAS BRUTAL, AND WE SALUTE ALL OF YOU THAT PARTICIPATED. THIS WAS A SOLD OUT EVENT, AND WE APLOLOGIZE TO ALL WHO COULD NOT GET INTO THIS EVENT.

LAST YEAR A FELLOW NAMED JERRY, SHOWN HERE WAVING, TOOK HOME A TOP PRIZE. THIS TIME HE HAD A GOOD CATCH OF PERCH, BIG SLABS, BUT NOT QUITE GOOD ENOUGH. THANK YOU JERRY, AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY FOR GETTING INTO THIS. GOOD ATTITUDES TOO !

THE BIG NEWS IS WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER TOURNAMENT FEB. 7, 2009. SAME RULES, SAME PRICE, $12.00, SAME AWARDS, THREE $1,000.00 FIRST PLACE. THE BIG CHANGE HERE, DUE TO THE OVER 150 CALLS FOR SOLD OUT TICKETS, IS WE WILL PRINT 500 TICKETS. ANY PRIZE MONEY OVER THREE THOUSAND, WILL BE DEVIDED EQUALLY BETWEEN LONG AND GRAND LAKE ASSOCIATIONS. THE MONEY IS TO BE USED FOR COSTS INVOLVING THE CORMORANT REDUCTION PROGRAM. THIS WILL BUY SHOT GUN SHELLS, AND PAY FOR GASOLINE FOR BOAT OWNERS.
DETAILS WILL FOLLOW IN OUR NEXT SITE CHANGE. FOR INFORMATION CALL [989] 595-2121, ASK FOR BUDD OR LORIE. THE TICKETS WILL GO TO THE PRINTER TOMORROW.
