Tournaments
Winning a tournament can be as rewarding as catching a thirty pounder! Muskies, Inc. and Chapter tournaments are "catch and release" competitions. A friendly atmosphere always prevails at our tournaments. Sportsmanship and camaraderie are always at their highest level among competitors. We fish hard, but have a fun time as well. After the contest is over, anglers get together over drinks and food to tell of 'the one that got away,' the fish that cost them a win!
The Larry Kleeba: This is the Wisconsin Musky Inc Clubs, Annual Chapter Challenge and open only to MI members in Wisconsin. Each year one of the 10 Chapters in the state hosts a weekend tournament at the lake of their choice. It is a team event and the good times -and challenges- roll! Winner gets the Kleeba traveling trophy.
The Pewaukee Classic: One of the better muskie fishing tournaments in Southeast Wisconsin is the Pewaukee Classic. It's always hosted by our Chapter and takes place the Saturday before Mother's day. The Classic is open to the general public and we have drawn muskie anglers from Illinois, Minnesota and all areas of Wisconsin. The team works together to ensure accurate officiating takes place and each contestant has a good time. The money we raise at this event is used for conservation and future stocking of muskies right here in our own area. We do not raise money to stock fish in northern Wisconsin as other clubs do. Our treasury is spent right here where it should be, to ensure that our sons and daughters will have excellent muskie fishing in the future. The funds we collect at this tournament, along with our catch and release practices will help accomplish this goal.
The National Muskies Inc., Gil Hamm tournament: This tournament is open to all MI members. The winning Chapter of the prior year's tournament sponsors the next tournament and chooses the body of water to fish.
