I think the MMA should send a team over to this tournament next October. All procededs from the tourney go back into the GLS program.

Mario Nanno and Josh Ebli, both of Green Bay, bested 50 teams from five states to capture first place in last weekend's Titletown Muskies Inc. Best of the Best Tournament. The duo won $5,000 in the third annual event.
Brett Jolly of Green Bay and Lucas Molepske of Westin took second ($1,500), followed by Mike Herman and Eric Collins of Green Bay ($500), Ron Hedsand and Don Petersilka of Sturgeon Bay ($400) and Justin Gaiche and Sarah Burdick of Wausau ($300).
Thirty-nine fish were caught over the two-day tournament. Gaiche and Burdick boated the largest muskie of the weekend, a 50¼-inch fish.
Green Bay Muskie fishing: Patience pays in fall on bay
"It's a bit early in October for the really big muskies," cautioned fishing guide Brett Jolly (** you do not have permission to see this link **), as we launched his 20-foot boat in the shadows of the Leo Frigo Memorial Bridge that spans the river just before it empties into the bay.
"However, fishing has been really good the past few days. Guys are regularly catching muskies in the 38- to 44-inch range, with some even larger.
"There isn't any one major tactic that improves your odds of hooking into a fish, but there are several things that can help anglers fishing muskies here for the first time."
The lower bay landed on the nationwide muskie angler radar with the successful introduction of the Great Lakes strain of muskies over the past two decades. The fish have grown quickly, reaching eye-popping size on an abundant forage base.
While not widely or equally distributed throughout the huge bay, the muskie population has developed patterns. One of those tendencies is a migration into the lower bay and river as cooler autumn temperatures develop.
