Today I fished the tournament at Lake Waconia

I fished the Metro Muskie Tournament today.  While it was rainy, it was still a ton of fun.  My ONLY regret, was that the white caps on the lake forced me off after about 4 hours.   The cool thing was seeing monster fish all around us surfacing as they fed close to the surface.  They splash and taunt you-which only serves to harden our resolve to get one in the boat.  Unfortunately, we didn’t hook anything.  Afterwards, when we went to the contest headquarters at Gander Mountain in Maple Grove, they had the results and prizes.  My wife won a bag of lures.  By chance, they even were her colors-pink & purple-she couldn’t be happier.  For monster Esox, I’d say 7 out of the 10 winner fish came from Lake Waconia.  Most were 42 inches and above, while the winner was 53 inches.  The entry fee was only $35.  In the fall, there is another tournament that includes the city lakes-Calhoun, Harriet, Isles, and Minnetonka to name just a few. This is on October 2nd.  The fee is $50, and there are a bunch of prizes.  I can’t wait!!!!  What a great group of people that run and organized this event-my public thanks for making this event unforgettable for myself and family.  My 10 year old sun is now “hooked” on catching the big one!

My family attended the Minnesota Muskie Expo this year and had a blast.  It was held on April 9-11th at Concordia University.  It was great.  I bought some new cool lures and attended a learning session by a Luke Ronnestrand.  We later went to his booth, and ran into a very happy couple who had booked a previously guided trip with him.  They were there buying lures and booking another trip.  We intend to book a trip with him ourselves, but haven’t coordinated it yet.  Anyway, here is his number if you are interested-952-807-2947.  If you are looking to attend a fishing show that have everything under the sun for Muskies-lures, education, boats, rods, reels, resorts, guides, taxidermy, clubs, etc  THIS IS IT.

The metro muskie tournament is on 6/12/2010 and will be from 6am to 3:30.  1st prize is $2000.  You can choose to fish in 16 different Twin City lakes.  I’m going to be fishing in Waconia.  Look for pictures of my success to be posted here in the future. $35 entry fee per angler. The another tournament is October 2nd.  It is the George Wahl Memorial muskie tournament.  They have over $10,000 in prizes.  It will be held on 13 metro lakes.  I will be trying my hand at that one as well-fishing at either Lake Minnetonka or Harriet.  Entry fee is $50.

Mark your calendars–  May 7th & 8th from 10am to 9pm.  Admission is ONLY $5.  They have a trout pond, minnow races, kids games, fish art, reptiles, silent auctions, boy scout merit badges, and MORE.  In fact, the even have an all you can eat fish fry from 4-8pm

Fishing in North Dakota (we don’t fool around when we fish in North Dakota)

Missouri River, North Dakota

Another Minnow…

This is a darn interesting picture and story even if you aren’t into fishing,
But please show it to anyone you know that likes to fish.

This Sturgeon was caught in the Missouri River, North of Bismarck, North Dakota two
weeks ago. It weighed out at over 1,000 lbs and measured out at 11’1″.

It was 56″ around the girth and took over 6 and a half hours, and 4 dozen beers, for the
4 guys taking turns at the reeling it in.

Any Sturgeon OVER about five feet has to be released unharmed and cannot be
removed from the water.

They are brood / breeding stock and probably older than most of us.
