Brainerd Lakes Chapter Newsletter
Greetings!

Welcome to the new email version of the Brainerd Lakes Chapter newsletter. The hopes for this new concept is to help the Chapter save some money and also provide a more eye appealing newsletter.
 
Some other advantages will be the efficiency of adding more content through links to our website and other information venues. There will be a "join our mailing list" option to help expand our outreach to other people interested in our Chapter.
 
We will be contacting all the people that receive our newsletter to inform them of the change and give them the opportunity to still receive a paper version of the newsletter. The paper version however will be absent the extra/additional links but still informative.

Please be patient as this will be a work in progress for this issue just to get our feet wet in the new system.

Thank you!

Years Muskie Fishing:
17

First Muskie: It was 39" and it was the biggest muskie I put in the boat at that time. It was boated on Big Lake in the Cass Lake area in Oct.

Favorite Lures: Double 10's are on top of the list. Second would be the Weagle. There's nothing like a top water strike!

Biggest Muskie: I have 2. My longest is 53" but the heaviest is a fat 51"x25". It only took me 15 years to break the 50" mark and I broke that mark 3 times last year!

Favorite Lake: Although I fish Alexander the most cause it's close to my home but I LOVE Big Lake. There's just something about that lake that just turns me on. Maybe it's the fish!

Most Memorable Moment Fishing Muskies: That would have to be the day my daughter Miranda boated her first muskie. The fish hit right at boat side and broke the tip off the rod. Dawn, Donnie and Tim were within ear shot of my YELLING and motored over to see Miranda's fish. After some pics, hugs and high fives Miranda tells me "you yelled really loud dad". I couldn't have been any more prouder than that moment!
