I too would ask you guys to consider this tournament. As a proud member of the SW MN fishing club and also a King Turkey Day Board Member and Race Team member, this is a long standing and great relationship. Plus for those of you who may not know it. Okabena is a great walleye lake. Go to the DNR lake finder and look at the last study report!!!!!!!! Come on down and let's have some fun!!!!

I would consider it, but having never fished the lake and working nights all week, I wouldn't stand much of a chance...

You may have a tough time pulling "the locals" away from the sheep head tournament on Madison Lake.

That sounds like a BAAAAAAAAAAAAD time! I've met a few of you South Central guys, just because there is a sheephead tournament, doesn't mean you all need to show up with your velcro gloves on!

I was just trying to help it over the fence, Honestly! Ha good one velcro gloves!

Riverrat,
We could give it a try! You can't tell me you haven't wasted $25 at the casino before I know I have! And this way we would get to fish a new lake!

Boilerguy and I are in!

How has the bite been on Okabena lately?

PDOGG, I'll see if I can swing it on Saterday, would be a good time anyways....I've blown alot more then $25 at the casino.....


Oooo and "PAY CHECK BABY" could take on a whole new meaning...

I think Nick and I are going to do this. Do you think it will fill up before Saturday? Or should I send our entry in? Is there somewhere I can print out the rules?

I will get you the info. Shoot me an email at muc33@yahoo.com I don't think it will fill by morning, and Larry said you must have talked to him so if you just want to let me know I will make sure to get you signed up if you want in.

Thanks, sent you an email!

If you get a chance could you post the results? Or anyone at that matter?

Team Frisch wins followed by 15 other teams which I forget the exact order. hehehehe

But hats off to a tough team from SC Mn in Pdogg and Riverrat56, they are going to do the bass masters and bullhead leagues proud in a couple of years!!!!

Bullheads sure, I'll pass on bass.....
