The Skeeter Yamaha Winners Circle

The Minnesota Tournament Trail presented by Skeeter and Yamaha rounded out the regular season September 12th and 13th on beautiful Lake of the woods.  Anglers spent the week pre-fishing and sharing rumors of amazing 50lb bags each day!  Wednesday we all met at Border view Lodge for a rules meeting and sponsor prize giveaway.  Thanks to all of our amazing sponsors anglers took home thousands of dollars in great prizes.  The wind was definitely a factor Wednesday as we heard a lot of chatter about a changing bite, needless to say the energy was definitely growing for the morning take off.  Thursday we sent boats out in a bit of a breeze and patiently waited to see if the bite was going to hold.  As anglers came in to weigh, there was mixed emotions to say the least, but the smile could be seen from across the river as Jake and Jared weighed an impressive 48 pounds to put them in 1st place headed into day 2.  Friday morning the weather gave anglers a bit more wind that held through the day making anglers make some key decisions to either make the brutal run north or fish close.  Noone could have been happier with their choice than Jake Caughey and Jared Erickson coming in day 2 with another bag over 48 pounds giving them a 2-day combined weight of 96.75 pounds and accelerating them to the title of 2024 MTT Champions and sealing the deal to drive home with a 2024 Skeeter WX1910 powered by a Yamaha 200hp SHO!  Jeff Bruska and Jimmy Swaggert we al smiles as they locked up the 2024 Wavepro Team of The Year after spending the day Wednesday having their motor overhauled to get them back on the water!  James and Adam Koecher showed that persistence pays off bringing home the Traeger Grills Father Son team of the Year, with the long time MTT team of Pam Ruis and her brother Terry winning the Trager Grills male and female Team of The Year!

Thank you to to the greatest group of walleye anglers in the state for such an amazing season!  We couldn’t have had this much fun without each one of you!  Let’s get together on October 26th for the shootout on Mille Lacs at Nitti’s Hunters Point and end this year having a blast together!
