SOB 2007 Lunker of the Months

He Get's It; Twice

Here is a short story from SOB's Keith Eldrup about a fishing trip with his youngest son Jake.
Jake and I have been going to Green Bay Musky fishing for the past 2 years. The last 3 day trips this year we got skunked, except for 1 short fish. I was pretty dejected driving home from the last trip and Jake and I were talking. Jake said “it’s alright if we don’t catch anything, I like going anyway. The whole day is fun, driving up in the morning when it’s dark, getting breakfast at Mc D’s, the hot chocolate, the hand warmers and driving home. Besides we can’t catch one if we don’t go & can I bring my sleeping bag next time?” He really gets it!!

Well yesterday about 3:30 he got it. A beautiful 49’’ Musky, that he brought in by himself. A couple of quick photos and back she went!! The drive home was even better this time!!

Muskie Stocking on the Chain

The SOB's will be doing our annual Muskie Stocking on the Chain on Wednesday 11/14/07 at the Thirsty Turtle.  It should start around 10:30am.  All are welcome to come out and lend a hand.  It's a good time, so be sure to stop by and show your support for the SOB's and our Muskie Stocking program.  Any interested in breakfast, we will be meeting around 9am at The Squire restaurant in Antioch on the corner of Rt.173 & Rt. 83, all are welcome to join us for breakfast before hand if you want.  See you there!

Well, it was a great time, thanks to all those who showed up to help.  Below are some photos from the stocking.

SOB Outings on the Chain - Next up May of 2008. Any questions call Jim Stella @ 847-343-7221.
Remember anybody who comes to an Outing will fish, if you don't have a boat don't worry, we will match you with someone who does, that's an SOB promise.
See you on the water.

9/12/07 Outing - This Outings season is now down in the books and what an exciting season it was.  With multiple fish caught at every Outing, this years Traveling Trophy Contest was the closest in SOB club history.  Bob Matusek made a final push to try to knock Rob Frechette out of the lead with a 40.5", which was the only muskie caught.  So how did it all play out, I can see you guys biting your nails just waiting to see.  But instead I'm just babbling on here trying to build up the suspense.  OK OK I'll tell yea.  Rob Frechette managed to hold on to his lead by 3/4 of a point.  Rob finished with 31.25 points to take top honors and the Traveling Trophy for 2007.  Bob Matusek finished with 30.5, followed by Jim Stella with 13.25 points, then Jefferson Batt with 11.5 points, then Kathy Cammarata with 8 points, then Bill Kilimnik with 7 points and John Splitts with 4 points.  Well it's back inside for the October Meeting, we will be holding it a week later due to a good point that a bunch of SOB's will be fishing in the PMTT Championship in Kentucky during our normal week, so we will hold our Meeting on 10/24/07 with Steve Worrall from MuskieFIRST as our guest speaker.  So be sure to show up and show your support to the SOB's.

8/15/07 Outing - We had another fine Outing, the rain missed us while we were on the water and for the most part so did the muskies.  But as is becoming a trend with the Outings this year, somebody always gets one or two.  It was that way for SOB's Bob Matusek & John Splitts.  Bob caught a 35" narrowing Rob Frechette's lead for the Traveling Troph
