On a beautiful Fall day, eleven teams hit the waters searching for Muskie, in the annual Greg Tichacek Memorial, IMTT Tournament last Saturday. The water was 2-3 feet lower than normal for this time of year, and water temperatures were in low 60’s. Four teams recorded measurable fish, landing five Muskie overall.
The place winners were:
| 1st – | Victor Fox | Dave Petschke | 31 in.; 37.75 in. |
