September's meeting: At this month's meeting, since our Fall Outing and the Gil Hamm are right around the corner, we'll be breaking down Lake Vermilion. We'll be discussing how to fish, what to use and where to start on this great muskie factory.

We hope to see you all there!
Muskie Shootout
October 12-13, Leech Lake

The Shootout is just a month away and the entries are filling up! Leech Lake has been very good this year and the muskies will only get bigger as fall progresses. Some very nice muskies were boated at last year's Shootout and this year's event will see some beauties! The payout has been doubled to $2000 for 1st place (based on a full field of 50 teams). Visit www.muskieshootout.com for all the details and entry form. Don't miss out! Send in your entry form today!

BLC Memorial Tournament 
About 20 people showed up to Big Mantrap for the BLC Memorial Tournament. Mantrap didn't disappoint once again. Everyone saw muskies with a few making the net. Afterwards we all got together and had a great meal and won some prizes. Congratulations to our top 3!

1st Place - Jim Kath: 41"
2nd Place - Ryan Severson: 32"
3rd Place - Wes Wickham: 30"

Jim Kath should have blown the field away with 2 other muskies but 1 was just short of the net and the other shook itself free from the net.

Gil Hamm Challunge

We are ready to Rock the Hamm! The BLC is sending 2 teams to Lake Vermilion to try to bring the coveted Lunge Bucket home!

Chicagoland is setting up one fantastic event and it's surely going to be a blast! Visit gilhamm.com daily during the Hamm to keep in touch on how the Challunge is going! Wish us luck and may the muskie Gods shine on the BLC!
Muskie Hunter of the Year
Round #4 - Fall Showdown

When: Saturday, September 21
Where: Deer and Moose Lakes - Grand Rapids
Time: 7am - 7pm
Info: There will be a potluck lunch east of the Moose access on CR 19. There is an overflow parking on the piece of land that separates Deer and Moose. Make sure you contact Brett Stark to get recorded that you attended the outing to get your attendance point.

Round #3 Results

Twenty people of so braved the nasty storms that blew through the area to chase some Cedar Lake muskies around for the Topwater Challunge. No fish were boated. Ones that counted anyway. Everyone raised some nice muskies but were unable to lay the hooks home. So, the MHOTY standings don't change much after Round 3. Just attendance points awarded.
