Greetings!

Welcome and Happy Holidays!

 

At this month's monthly meeting we will be having our Christmas Party! Prizes, food and a 2010 recap slideshow will be on the agenda. Also on tap is our annual elections for the 2011 BLC Board.

 

We're looking to have a good time so we'll see you at the Waterfall!

The Iceman recap

 

About a dozen people ventured out in the 15 degree weather on Lake Alexander to chase some muskies around for the final round of the Muskie Hunter of the Year schedule.

 

Jody Young boated a very heavy 47.25" beauty to win the event. It was her first muskie of the year. What a way to end the season!

 

Jon Hagelie wasn't too far of pace with a 46.5" tank. Both fish you could tell that winter was on the way by their girth. The feed bag was on!

 

Congrats Jody and Jon!

With Jeff Young scoring a Netman point there is a tie atop the leaderboard. Dusty Cartie and Jeff Young both recorded 20 points to make it a Co-Champion year! See the final results in this issue.
