2023 PMTT Champs
Well, that's a wrap folks!
HUGE congrats to Tait & Ty Sennett on winning the PMTT Championship this past weekend on the Chippewa Flowage.
They crushed the field with 7 fish over three days, including some WI beauties like this gorgeous bronzie:
And here's how they got 'em:
"We started out pre-fishing shallow with black bucktails and this pattern held up through the first two days of the tournament. We found out quick on the last day that the muskies weren’t shallow any more. So, we moved out to deep water and while still throwing the black bucktails, we popped 3 more muskies just off the structure."
Great to see them take home gold on their home waters 💪
The PMTT Top Gun race ended fairly tight with Gus and Max Mantey needing to catch some fish in the championship to hold their lead over the Sennetts. Great job guys!
Btw, Ty Sennett did a great class for us "Topwater Tactics, Timing, Tuning and Mods" earlier this year that's available on the website (and available on-demand for PRO members) 👍
MN Muskie Trail
We also wanted to give the Minnesota Muskie Trail a shoutout. They held their event this past weekend, and it sounds like things went great.
Matt Raley and Nate Osfar put on a clinic (that's a common happening with these dudes 💪), boating four Leech Lake 'skies including this fatty:
How bout the belly on that early fall porker 😍
Here's a look at the top 5 finishers from the event:
And here's a look at the big 51-incher caught by Darian Rubner (with partner Jace Loge) that was good enough for big fish of the two day tourney:
Also cool to hear the event raised $1800 for the resource and $1100 for kids lifetime license giveaway. 🔥
Side note: When we launched Musky Insider PRO earlier this year, we wanted to bring in some of the best of the best musky anglers to teach folks how to catch more 'skies. It was cool watching two of our instructors (Ty Sennett and Nate Osfar) win both the big events happenin' this weekend. Great job, guys!
Nervous Minnows
We've all witnessed "Nervous Sucker Syndrome"....
Your bobber takes off at 100 mph, and you know a big musky is eyeing-up your suddenly fearful sucker minnow.
Well, here's what it looks like underwater:
Not the best footage, but you can't blame the sucker for shaking the camera like crazy as it tries to swim for it's life!
Anyone else gearing up for some hardcore fall sucker draggin'??
