Muskegon...Tournament of Champions

Lake Muskegon is a better fishery than I expected from the information I had gotten before going to this tournament.  The fish are strong and healthy. It is a somewhat odd lake as far as its general structure and not my kind of fishing preference...( alot of open water drops and shelf fishing)...but all in all a good lake. I was very pleased with the big healthy bellies on the fish there. Even the 14" fish weighed in at about 1/2 again as much as any fish of the same length would have here near Chicago.

We did okay all things considered. We did not win but we did catch some fish...and more importantly we made a plan on a lake we had never seen, we stuck to it, and we did okay.

We spent half of one day without a trolling motor until I got it fixed...and had a hard time fighting the wind in our little aluminum boat...but at any rate I think the wife FINALLY agrees we need a better boat!!!!!!

...if that is all that comes from this tournament it was WORTH IT!
