Mike, nice job transitioning the tourney over to CPR.

Pretty epic year of weights. You could argue too that the weight calculator (while maybe heavy for a Mille Lacs walleye) is slightly light for a Fall P4 Sauger. The last 7 years I remember just one 21lb weight winning, and a 18.22lb weight being another winner. Otherwise, it was lower than that.

This year 18lbs didn’t even get you in the top 10.

The sauger fishery is back and just as healthy as ever…that or it was just a super awesome bite year. Which I would say it was not better than any other year I have fished Saugerama.

Nice work all!

I like seeing it as a CPR format as well…kudos to you for making the switch. I’d rather be able to catch 3# saugers on the river for years to come and watch them swim away than stuff a livewell or bucket full of 13″ saugers like we witness every year at LOTW.

Once life slows down a bit next Fall (wishful thinking), I’ll probably jump in and give it a shot.

Did they create their own weight scale or did they run the AIM or MTT system? Good to see the CPR. Definitely the way to go for tourneys, I like the sauger only concept as well. Will try to set a reminder for this next year. Looks like a fun one to do.

They used the same one as the MTT. I would like it to be a fish donkey next year too, my grandma will probably appreciate me not having to borrow her camera too Its a very fun tourney, good concept, and good people with a traveling wood trophy too with the past winners on it.

MTT

Thanks for the info. Those are some great averages to see. 20 inch average on 8 fish is an amazing card.
