Last year’s statewide, online muskie tournament was such a big hit that you know we have to do it AGAIN! \u00a0So now we bring to you the MAY MADNESS online event! This event takes place Friday, May 16th through Sunday, May 18th, and is open to EVERYONE, and ALL WATER in OHIO is eligible!<\/p>\n

So how does this statewide online tournament work exactly? \u00a0Beginning at Noon on Friday May 16th, through 3 PM on Sunday, May 18th, (during assigned legal daylight fishing times), you may choose ANY one, or multiple bodies of water in OHIO to fish from. \u00a0In this three-day points tournament, your TOP FIVE muskies submitted, (30″ or longer), will earn you points. \u00a0You may submit every muskie you catch, 30″ or better, and we will apply your best FIVE to your final score.<\/p>\n

Fish must be photographed on a bump board with identifier code clearly visible, and then submitted to tournament director (TD) via text no later than 3:30 PM on Sunday. \u00a0The identifier code, and TD text number will be released on Friday before the start of legal fishing. \u00a0Winners will be announced the following Monday morning after all fish submissions are reviewed and scored by our judges. \u00a0All top three anglers with the most points at the end of legal fishing time will be awarded trophies and brand new muskie baits at our awards banquet.<\/p>\n
