The league this year is going very well. After 4 nights 37 different people have participated in at least 1 league night. 10 muskies have been caught so far. Bald Eagle produced 2 fish, Indy 2, Rush 1, and Forest 5 fish. Nothing big has hit the net yet-when it does it will change the stats very fast. Pat M has a 42 Mike R and Andy M have caught 40.5 inch fish. Christian M and Andy M have doubled up so far.

Remember that partner points will add up at the end of the year. Try fishing with someone new this year. Try to get your friends out again and get them signed up as members. They will then qualify for the rod and other prizes at the end of the year. Hopefully everyone is having good time with the league. Remember to report back within 48 hours.

Good Luck
