Here is “TGIF” of Owatonna, Mn. and the winning Striper!
“TGIF” was the winner of the EFN’s Annual http://www.fishthelake.com “Get-Together” Fishing Contest. He took the first place prize with this 2.4 lb. Striper. The fish were not biting well… it was tough going. TGIF got this fish early in the morning and not too many more fish were taken through the day.
As first place prize, “TGIF” won of a day of guided river fishing with EFN’s Pro-Staff member, Jim Wernimont. Other prizes that he took home were $25.00 in Hawg-EYE Floaters and Fireworks Jigs from B-Fish-N Tackle, and a Jabsco Sonic Builge Pump Control (see this at http://www.tmimarine.com.)
The contest was held in near 30 degree temps in Southern Minnesota, on Madison Lake, this January 5th, 2002
Jim Werimont will be contacting “TGIF” on a private message, to set up the guided trip. I must add that It was great fishing with and meeting you. Good job, nice striper! And Thank you Jim, for donating the guided trip!

It was wonderfull getting to put faces to the many names that we have all have posted with on FTL. In 2002, FTL plans to have this event “on open water” (Mille Lacs on full moon in October is my vote).
