July 28 “Walleye Madness”

The 14th annual Walleye Madness week was one of the highlights of the past week.  Specifically, the contest ran 3 days with the biggest walleye released being crowned the winner.  There were plenty of walleye being caught…

3rd place Mark Erdman with a 25 inch walleye.
2nd place Scott Wesling (Weasel) with a 25 1/4″ walleye.

In the “other” division (non-walleye) we had a couple of significant entries…

2nd place Len Belpedio with a 41″ musky…
1st place with his first musky was Andy Bushman with a 42″ fish.

Speaking of musky, they have been particularly active.  Shown here is Cory Meyer with a good one day catch of three nice fish (38, 40 & 42)…

Cory’s son Alex also had some luck with musky…43 1/2 inches!

It was an enjoyable week with a lot of great guests, some fine weather and good fishing opportunities.  Here’s some of the kids in action…

By the way, if you haven’t had the chance to attend a walleye madness, one of the highlights is the awards night / pot luck dinner.  It was another outstanding meal thanks to our guests…

We hope to see you next year July 18-25 for the 15th annual Walleye Madness!
