Chapter 57 Curlew Lk Musky Tourney Results
Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2008 8:39 pm
Well folks, here's the results of a fantastic weekend:
First off I'd like to say thanx to all that attended the first musky tourney of 2008. If you found an excuse not to go, sorry. You missed a great weekend of fishing a beautiful musky lake under warm, sunny skies and calm conditions with a great crowd.
Another thanx to all that participated in the pot-luck supper after the tourney. Great time to BS, make new friends, rekindle old ones and just plain ol 'have fun'. It don't get no better than this.
I also want to sincerely thank Randy Osborne and Bill Baker of the WDFW for attending our event as judges. They were radio tracking some muskies this past week in Curlew so while there, they wanted to scan any caught fish for tags or transmitters but volunteered to witness the measuring process at the same time. Thanx a lot guys. Fantastic job.
Mike Wilkinsin of the WDFW also participated in our contestants meeting to inform us of the dangers of invasive weeds and zebra mussels. Thanx Mike.
First place: Frank Haw with a nice healthy 45.5"er. Talk about new member luck. Frank joined at the tourney then proceeded to show us his expertise. Congrats Frank.
Second place: Todd Reis measured a fat 34"er. Todd's fish had a WDFW tag in it. This fish was 4 years old and healthy. Todd's our membership chairman and a well deserved winner. Congrats Todd.
Third place was simply an honorable mention: Tom Schaffenocker successfully landed not only his first musky but also his biggest(it was huge)in a cradle but decided it was better released before the judge boat arrived. Congrats on your PB Tom.
Jill, practice some with that cradle for the next one. LOL
This tourney was hosted out of Fisherman's Cove Resort. The owners(Jack and Sandy Beck)are great folks and run a great resort. First class all the way. Thanx Jack & Sandy for everything. Can't wait till next year.
Thanx again and hope to see everyone at the next event.
