Forrest Grassel, 15, of Seymour, Wis., was the top angler, and Pete LaBorde of Stratford was the lucky ticket holder to the 38th annual National Championship Musky Open, held in Eagle River, Wis., on the lakes 16- August 18.
The Eagle River Area Chamber of Commerce, along with the Musky Clubs Alliance of Wisconsin, is sponsoring a seven-family tournament at a lake in the area. It is billed as the largest amateur muskie tournament in the United States.
“This tournament is open to ages 8 and older and is designed to be fun for the entire family,” said Kim Emerson, executive director of the chamber.
