Greetings!

Welcome to this month's newsletter!

 

Our guest speaker this month is Gregg Thomas. Gregg runs Battle the Beast Guide Service. Gregg also runs a few muskie

schools throughout the year. Musky Road Rules. He is one of the top muskie guides in the country and has many 50"+ muskies under his belt. We're expecting a very entertaining meeting!

 

Hope to see you all there!

2011 Release Rules and Replica Eligibility

* Your release form must be turned in within 30 days of your release. It can be turned in to our Release Chairman Dusty at the monthly meeting or emailed to him. Another way is to submit the form on the Muskies Inc website. Dusty will be able to record the release off of the MI site.

 

* Must be a member in good standing.

 

* We highly urge people to turn in a photo with the release. This way we can have the picture submitted right away to the Year in Review DVD.

 

* On the Release form there will be a checkbox for people to select either "Yes" or "No". Checking "No" will have your release only submitted to the Chapter contest. Checking "Yes" your release will be submitted to the MI Lunge Log and it will be required that the form be filled out accurately.

 

* New... the 50" rule! All releases 50" or over will require a photo to be eligible for the Replica. To make things very interesting and mysterious, people that turn in a 50" or larger muskie release form will have their name added to the Replica finalist section. The exact length WILL NOT be listed. Just stated that the person has a 50" or larger release to his credit. The Replica winner will be announced at our annual Banquet. Our Release Chairman will be the only person that will know who is in the lead or won the Replica. Of course it's hard to keep a biggie and secret between friends so we'll see...

 

* Replica eligibilty will require attending at least 4 monthly meetings and at least 1 Muskie Hunter of the Year outing.

 

* There is a 10 year waiting list for people that have already won the Replica.

 

* The largest muskie by length will win the Replica. If by chance there is a tie, the tiebreaker will be the muskie that was caught first.
