I already found out that I can’t enter Turk into the Biggest/Ugliest…so I’m going to actually have to fish…

Here’s more (and some of same) info on the tourney,…
It’s a good time even though BrianK will be there!!!!!

Beanie’s11th annual River Rat Tournament – the St. Croix Rivers largest tournament is being held on the 25th of September at Beanies in Lakeland, Minnesota. The tournament starts at 7:00 am and weigh in is at 3:00. Each year over 100 to 150 local St. Croix valley and St. Paul area anglers get their competitive fish juices flowing and enter this river tournament. This “walleye” contest is really for three categories:
Largest stringer of 6 walleye and saugers combined,
Biggest walleye,
AND THE biggest “ugly” fish.
Most years twelve to fourteen pounds will put a team in contention for largest stringer, largest walleye can be a trophy sized lunker or some years a four pounder wins.
For the ugly fish a legal sized sturgeon, legal size is over 50″ or a 30 pound flathead places well.
The tournament is a great time with tons of door prizes, and this event is organized to GENERATE FUNDS for the St. Croix Valley Youth Service Bureau. Entry fee is usually 20 dollars or so, and a winner of any of the three categories can expect a few hundred dollars or so in winnings. I’ll be there hoping for some BIG fish, say hello if you see me, and good luck to all entries!!!

Hey Turk? What’s the bounderies? Stillwater to Prescot?
