And it was fun !

Thanks to all of you that came, hope you enjoyed it as well.

Winning Team was Ron Berglin and his daughter Kathy with 12.55 lbs (5 fish)
They also won big fish with a 3.75 pounder !

Top 3

1. Ron and Kathy Berglin 12.55 5 Fish

2. Mark Busch and Paula Bloom 8.66 5 Fish

3. Marshall and Julie Adams 7.72 5 Fish

The weather was gorgeous and the Alexandria area beautiful, as usual. The small fish were cooperative with all but one team weighing in a 5 fish limit. The bigger fish seemed only to bite for Ron and Kathy, as almost all of the remaining bags looked
very similar with the typical cookie cutter keepers that Le Homme Dieu seems to pump out by the hundreds.
Several teams met for lunch at Bug a Boo Bay, which was a great way for everyone to get to know each other a little better. As this is a Co-Ed tournament, I thought that was a great way for some of us to meet other folks who share our interests. Also maybe have a "Gator Pot" for the biggest Northern Pike weighed in at the lunch break. It was suggested that for next year, we make it a regular part of the tournament and just extend the hours a little to compensate for it. I'm kicking that idea around, and would appreciate any comments on this.

All in all it was a great kick-off tournament for next year's 4 tournament schedule. I hope to have the schedule set in January, 2004 or just as soon as I can get all the permits set.

Tentative schedule:
June Pokegama, Grand Rapids, MN
July Gull, Brainerd, MN
2 days but separate
August Le Homme Dieu, Alexandria, MN

September Championship (TBA)

Entries will be $60 per tournament.
$10 big bass pot (optional)

The Gull lake tournament will be a Saturday/Sunday event, but each a separate tournament. I'll add a $10 side pot for teams fishing both that will pay out for 2 day totals as a little bonus.

Anyone who wants to get on the mailing/email list can contact me as shown in the first post in this thread.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
