Midwest Open - Knutson's NAIFC Qualifier - Wamplers Lake, January 27,2008
On
Sunday, January 27th, 63 x 2-man teams launched from the State Park on Wamplers
Lake for the first Midwest Open Qualifier Ice Tournament, hosted by
Knutson's Bait and Tackle,
Brooklyn, MI. The weather cooperated and the lake and it's finicky Red Ears
lived up to its reputation for a tough bite. The field was definitely
leveled as teams who did well in pre-fishing returned to their GPS spots on game
day only to find empty weeds or skittish fish.
The
winning team of Captains Joe Pikulski of Temptation Charters and Myron Gilbert
of Catchin II Charters, Team of the Year winners in 2006 and 2007, once again
demonstrated that they won't give up until they have a winning bucket of fish.
Captain Joe
and Myron are Pro Staffer's for Team FISKAS and Little Atom. Sticking to
their game plan and hole hopping with FISKAS
Wolfram Jigs and Little Atom Plastics was the
winning strategy. Winning the tournament with 5.96 pounds [8 Gills and 8
Crappie] along with the Big Fish award for a 0.65 lb Red Ear put them ahead of
the pack and in the Championship money! Besides the cash prize, Joe and
Myron also were awarded awesome hand crafted bluegill plaques that will look
awesome on their wall to remind them of the great day on the lake. The
weigh-ins were held indoors in the Brooklyn Middle School two hours after the
check-in and buckets were sealed at the lake. This format was a big hit
for the families and community allowing everyone to enjoy the weigh-ins and
suspense of seeing who won! Knutson's added prizes for teams placing 25,
35 and 55 place so everyone stayed for the entire event to see where they would
end up placing. There were a pair of Shappell one-man tents, a NEW Ice Gator
battery powered auger, Little Atom Bug Luggage and lures. Thanks again to
Knutson's for organizing a terrific event and to the key sponsors of Shappell,
Ice Gator augers, Little Atom, and Subway for their sponsorship of this event.
Next year expects to have even a larger turnout! Congratulations to all
the 15 top finishers for qualifying for a spot to fish in the Championships
under the newly formed National Ice Fishing Champions (NAIFC) organization.

All - it is with a heavy
heart that we learned of the passing of Mark "Rosy" Roscrans in the night
following the tournament. Mark was a high spirited fisher who always had a
smile and a warm welcome to all fishermen. Mark was a great spirit and key
reason the Ice Tournaments were started with the Knutson's. He will be
missed and our thoughts go out to Mark's family and anyone who knew this great
man!
