Saturday June 27, 2009 Saturday and Sunday May 30-31, 2009 Saturday April 4, 2009 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM at the Holiday Inn Express. (click the name for a map) Very Special Guest Speaker: Mr. Larry Ramsell from Hayward Wisconsin. Larry is a Fishing Guide, Author, Historian and world class Muskie Angler. During this 8 hour class we used the pool to demonstrate lure presentations so you can really see how it works. We also had detailed reports on the 7 Washington Lakes that are stocked with Muskies, instructions on proper Catch, Photo and Release (CPR) techniques, information and samples of different rods, reels and lines, and tools to keep the Muskie and the angler safe. There was a presentation from WDFW biologists about the Washington Muskie stocking program, a door prize, and a raffle for Muskie Gear. See the Tiger Muskie School PDF flyer (246 KB). Updated information coming soon. Saturday February 21, 2009 10 AM to 2 PM The Seminar was a great success with some 47 people participating. Tom Schafenacker was point man on this and had every detail covered and put together a comprehensive Power Point Presentation for the event. All of the speakers used the over head screen so all the anglers in the audience were captivated by our special graphics, detailed info and of course, pictures of our venerated Muskies! Both Brett Olson, Chapter 57's 2008 Angler of the Year and Mike Floyd, Angler of the Year for 2007, showed everyone tips and tricks about catching and releasing our Tiger Muskies and some of the rods/reels/line needed. Bill Green explained the details of trolling and the need for proper tools. People really appreciated his in-depth report about Lake Tapps, too! Perry Peterson shared about M.I at the National level and Buddy Hartman, our Chapter President, explained who we are and what we do for the fishery. Bruce Bolding, WDFW Biologist, Warm Water Specialist and Muskie advocate, gave his entertaining yet informative presentation about the stocking program, which included some brand new slides of our baby Muskies over at the Meseberg Hatchery; they are growing like weeds and very healthy! Person traveling the farthest to attend? Chapter member Doug M. from Eugene Oregon, some 6 ½ hours to the south. Great to see you Doug! The raffle included a VERY generous donation of an X BOX Pro which also included the Rapala fish game and the outrageous Gears of War video game. We also gave always a table full of prime, brand new Muskie lures. The seminar and the raffle were a huge success, due in no small part to the organization of Tom and the dedication of some very generous Chapter members and the esteemed Bruce Bolding. Way to go, Team TIGER PAC and WDFW and 3 Rivers Marine for all your support! It was an awesome day for Chapter #57 and the Tiger Muskies. Special Thanks for all who came!

February 21, 2008 ANNUAL AWARDS CEREMONY: Lots of Awards; lots of Surprises!
What a great meeting, lots of fun and surprises and good folks. We kept the business to a minimum for this, our first Awards Ceremony. 16 folks received a certificate and heavy metal "Catch & Release" pin for volunteering at the Chapter 57 Booth at the Puyallup Sportsman Show. The 2007 Sportsman of the Year Award went to Member Jani Kuper.
Sportsman of the Year, was presented by Chairman Bill Green. This Award is for the member who participates in at least 75% of club events, represents us as a family club, respects other anglers, regardless of how they feel about CPR and who "leads by example". 2007 Angler of the Year winner was Michael Floyd with a total of 583 inches!
This award is given to the angler who has tallied the most inches in Muskies (over 30 inches) caught and released. The longest was 46 inches and he had a grand total of 14 Tiger Muskies!! Even more impressive: this was Michael's FIRST YEAR targeting Tiger Muskies! Last event of the evening was speaker Jack Tipping, WDFW, retired. Or at least he thought he was going to speak. 5 minutes into his presentation, Jack was interrupted by a very loud FedEx courier who "claimed" he had an important document for a Mr. Jack Tipping from a Mr. Doug Fletcher from Weippe, Idaho (Jack's former boss and mentor when he stocked the first tiger, 20 years ago in Mayfield Lake.) After presenting his ID (!) Courier Rick instructed Jack to read the document to the Chapter members. It was a surprise letter and a great, funny, moving tribute to the Father of Tiger Muskies in WA. But the surprise did not end there; Perry Peterson, President, presented Jack with a plaque honoring all his dedication to the project along with a framed, beautiful, underwater photo of a tiger in the weeds and sunlight. A generous, anonymous donor has also purchased Jack a 10 year membership in Muskies Inc.! And last but not least, Jani played a video the Chapter put together (with the help of Jack's wife, Sharon, who was in on the surprise) complete with archived photos and some great pictures of Jack and some of his big fish. But mostly it includes our gratitude and appreciation. Want to see it again? It's on YouTube. January 23 - 27, 2008 Sept. 15-16, 2007 August 25, 2007 LAKE TAPPS MUSKIE TOURNAMENT!
