6400 "Page-Views" on our website in a one week! Is that amazing or what!
Go Team,
Go TIGER PAC!

Thanks, To You All, for a fantastic season last year.

Big Trophies will be similar to this beauty, below

I know this should be a great meeting. Mike, you better bring some water because you are expected to give quite a few speeches!! Congrats Mike on becoming the Washington Muskie Master (WMM)

Before you can accept your trophies, you have to be tested for performance enhancing drugs. Club policy!!

It's a night to honor the expertise of a very fine angler and a gentleman; Mike Floyd.
Its to honor Norm Dillon for an amazingly big tiger.
Time for a nod to the Sportsman of the Year, too; a person who has been a member for at least a year, participated in club functions (Committees, Chairman, Meetings, tournaments and outings, etc.), represented us as a family orientated club and
has always shown respect for others, regardless of how the others might feel about CPR.
This person truly leads by example. Come to the meeting to find out who it is

And last but NEVER least; our amazingly generous volunteers: For a club is only as strong as its volunteers, and this chapter 100% belongs to the members, especially those who give their time and give back to the fish.
Volunteers at the Puyallup Sportsman Show Booth, Cabela's Table, Muskie School, Adopt a Road, Youth, Sponsorship, and Seminars.
If you are part of our 90 member Washington Chapter and have not jumped in to volunteer, I encourage you to do so.
Besides, it good fish karma!!

Come on out and say howdy - they are calling for sunny skies and in the mid-50's good night to drive on over and grab a drink and pizza and say "Thank You" to your fellow muskie addicts.
See you all there!

Thanks kids! I wish it was 41 fish, 31 is the correct number (plus 4 undersize fish). Unfortunately I also lost a number of fish last season, somewhere around 12 or 13. I was fortunate during 3 of the 4 tourneys I fished to be able to figure out a pattern and make it work. Curlew was the only lake I was unable to pattern, but pre fishing helped me locate a couple of spots that held fish and I made the most of it, getting lucky and boating a good fish early in the day. It was a good year, had lots of fun. Looking forward to the upcoming season. See you on thursday, Mike.

My mistake, jigman, thats what I get for counting with blurry eyes. lol.
31 is a fantastic year !!!
Looking forward to getting that photo with you and those two monster trophies!

Sorry we can't make the meeting this month, we're kind of out of location and busy moving in still. Congrats to Mike F. for a great '09 fishing year. Bet everyone wishes their wives would let them go that often Mike.
Bill

Jigman/Tiger Muskie...

Sorry about that...I lost track after 25!!! Great job in 2009! We are looking forward to a great 2010!...I hear your Son may give you a run for the "honors" this year! It is great to have the both of you aboard and I will be looking forward to spending some time on the water with you both this year! Congrats, on your AWARDS! You are very deserving of them both my friend. Great job!

Bill G...hey it is warming up now...the snow is melting on the pass...We ALL would love to see you and Rosann on Thursday if there is anyway you can make it...please do! We already miss you two!

Wow, that is some trophy isn't it Mike?!! Make sure and get a picture taken with your trophys and get it posted on here so we can see. You sure had a great year of fishing. Sorry we can't make it over to the meeting to help celebrate. We're hoping to get done moving in soon so we can start fishing this year!

Hey Rosann & Bill, no worries. We all miss you, but we know how hard it is to get moved in. Looking forward to visiting with you two this summer and catching some 'eyes! Yummo!
I will be SURE to get lots of pictures tomorrow night. Stay tuned right here, don't go away, we'll be right back after a word from... why from, from... WDFW!
Great News just in: Newly appointed Warmwater Coordinator Bruce Bolding will be stopping by the Chapter meeting
and with him Mr. Jim Uehara who is the new "Inland Program Supervisor"
We are all anxious to meet them and hear about the program and the outlook.
Remember, you do not have to be a member to come; all are welcome!

Yes you do not have to be a member to come to the meetings. I know the first meeting I went to I was not a member, now look where it landed me!! what can I say. I have a soft spot in my heart for these duckbilled, freshwater barracuda, torpedoes:salut: !![thumbsup] =d>

Congrats Mike, that was on hellava year.
