Month: June 2025

We had 22 anglers come out for this year’s Main Event on West Branch and Milton.  The bite was not nearly as hot as the blazing sun this weekend, but six competitors managed to put a muskie on the board.  Alex Turner filled his three fish limit,  (44.75″, 43.5″ and 38.75″) and won first place with a score of 49 points!  Coming in second, with 19 points, and winning the $160 Big Fish Pot with his 45″ Huskie was Justin Lude!  Rick Thorp Jr. claimed his third trophy of the season with his 43.5″ Huskie worth 17.5 points and good for third place.  In addition to their trophies, the top three finishers also received brand new @six2noon bucktails.   Also submitting fish this weekend were:

 

Jake Miller 42″ 16 points

Jonathon Baer 39″. 13 points

John Proch. 30.75″ 4.75 points.

 

At our final check in we shared pizza and cold drinks before presenting trophies to our winners.  We held out 50/50 raffle and every tournament entrant who attended the check in took home a new muskie bait in our door prize raffle.  We wrapped things up with  drawing the winner of our Main Event Raffle and Devin Kopp was selected to receive our HUGE Prize package!!!  Congratulations Devin, and to our tournament winners, and all who put fish on the board.  With the Summer heat setting in, we will be taking a break from anymore muskie tournament until September, when we hope you’ll fish with us on September 20th for our Minnow Fund Event at Piedmont.

 

 

Now it’s time for our Main Event!  This event is open to ALL, and anglers may choose to compete on West Branch Reservoir or Lake Milton, or even hop between the two neighboring lakes.  Tornament entry fee is $25 per person and just $15 for juniors aged 17 or younger, with portions of the proceeds donated to the Minnow Fund in support of muskie stocking efforts in Ohio.  There is also an optional $10 Big Fish Pool with all money being awarded to the angler(s) catching the longest muskie in the tournament.  In this two day points tournament, your best three fish, (30 inches or longer), will be scored, and trophies will be awarded to the top three points earners at our final check-in.
