There were six muskies registered at the WMT's Lake Okauchee tournament Sunday, May 20th. Mark Lijewski and Clay Schroeder tallied the first muskie of the event at 6:58am with a dandy 47 1/4" muskie. At 8:19am, Kevin Moore and Ben Maslowski scored on a 38 inch muskie that would earn the team a fifth place finish. Fishing alone, Mike Ross registered a nice 39 1/2 inch muskie at 9:46am. Mark Gillich and Gordon Hastrieter (subbing for Justin Gaiche) scored on a 38 incher at 11:30am and looked to connect on a second muskie that would give the team a "Muskie Double Header" and an additional $10,000.00 for winning back to back events and a total of $30,000.00 for a weekend of muskie fishing. At 11:32am, the team of Tony Piantek and Dan Buss would score on the biggest muskie of the event with a 49 1/2 inches and with no teams doubling, the team would take the first place prize. The final muskie of the day would be landed by Ryan Fiebig and Chad Slama at 3:14pm and scored 39 3/4 inches.
