Volume 31, Issue 12 December 2014 Prez Sez December Meeting If you attended the last CCMI membership meeting, you know that new officers were elected for 2015. After serving as your President for four years, I am stepping down and current board member, Luke Vike, will take over the duties of President beginning January 1, 2015. While it might seem like a cliché, it truly has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your President. I have really enjoyed meeting more of you, fishing with more of you, and talking about fishing with all of you. The Capital City Chapter of Muskies, Inc. is a great club and it has been a lot of fun for me to be able to participate in a leadership role. Thank you very much for your support. I am not dropping out entirely. I will continue to participate on the board as a past president, along with Geoff Crandall, Steve Reinstra, and Jim Olson. Congratulations to all of next year’s officers. As noted above, Luke Vike was elected President. Winston Hopkins was elected Vice President after serving as Secretary this last year. Gary Hoffman was elected as the club’s new Secretary, Tom Penniston was re-elected Chapter Representative to Muskies, Inc., and Matt Newman was re-elected as Treasurer. Thank you, Dale Anderson, who is also stepping down after being a very successful Vice President the last couple of years. I urge you to give your full support to next year’s officers. And, as always, I encourage you to become involved in your club. For CCMI to continue to be the success that it is, members need to continue to step up and contribute, take on assignments and participate in its events. It takes many people to do all that we do and your involvement is crucial to the continued success of CCMI. Its December and the cold weather has set in. If we don’t get a warming spell, we will likely have to drill a hole to fish. In December, we elect the At-Larger Directors to the Cap City board. We also have a very special featured speaker in Joel Michel of Joel Michel’s Guide Service. (http://www.joelmichel.com/) and he guides the lakes of Southeast Wiscionsin. His talk will be “Spring Muskies, Top to Bottom”. The meeting will be held at the 5100 Bar in McFarland (http://5100bar.com/) on Monday, December 8th at 7pm. Come early and enjoy some fine food and spirits as well as some muskie chatter. All general meeting are free and open to the public. Bring friends and family for a great evening. Thank you! I hope to see you on the water. Catch a big one – Catch many big ones.

The positions to be elected were President, Vice-President, Chapter Representative, Treasurer and Secretary. Doing the duties of running the elections was Chapter Board Member and Muskies, Inc Parliamentarian, Henry Hempe. The results are as follows; President - Luke Vike Vice-Pres - Winston Hopkins Regional Rep - Tom Penniston Treasurer - Matt Newman Secretary - Gary Hoffman Congratulations to the winners and a big thanks to those that have given time to help run the Chapter over the past year. And special thanks goes to outgoing President, Lee Bartolini for a great rein in your leadership, leading this chapter in continuing stocking for the Chip/Leech study on Lake Monona. We are also glad that Lee will be involved in the future. We also thank outgoing VP Dale Anderson as he will soon be spending more time in the northwoods fishing and teaching others to fish, which is a dream come true for many of us. We hope he does well up there and I’m sure he will help out the chapter as time will allow. At the December meeting will be holding elections for At-Large Directors (ALD) and if you would like to run for a position as ALD, contact Lee Bartolini. We need a new and exciting ALDs to keep this chapter vibrant. Pictured are two 53 inch muskies from a Minnesota trip Adam Oberfoell took in November. The one above ate the lure after going around on a figure-8 multiple times. The one below is taken after dark and not only stretch the tape 53 inches, but also stretch it in the girth department at 25 inch. Those are sure super nice fish! . . .

Many of the lakes have skim ice and it won’t be long to walk on it. With that, it looks like the show season is drawing near. The Chicago venue has changed and is a bigger event. Milwaukee is a continuing good draw in both vendors and crowds, so it looks like it shaping up to be a good show season. Looking at the new members we have signed over the last month, we had a couple. We have Joe Mueting of McFarland and a family membership for Mark Andrews & his daughter, Olivia and they are from Middleton. Welcome all!! I know many around Christmas time, some get new computers and possibly new Internet Service Providers (ISP) and a new email address, if that’s the case, also go to www.muskiesinc.org and change your email address on your profile. I use that information to email members telling them when the newsletter is posted at the www.capitalcitymuskiesinc.org web site. Please keep your profile current. Till next month………….

This has many muskie anglers putting their boats into storage and turning their focus to deer hunting. Please think safety first if you’re one of the die-hards still out there or even getting on the early ice. With the season open until December 31st in southern Wisconsin, how many muskies will be caught on tipups this year? The deadline for entries in the Muskies Inc Lunge Log is 30 days after the date of the catch. However, entries from fish caught in December are due by January 15th. Also be sure to email me a picture of your catches of 45” and longer to be entered in our annual replica contests. If you still have some potential entries from earlier this summer, it’s not too late to send in those pictures. A few notable muskies were caught over the past 30 days...all from the same water!

These muskies were the strain from Leech Lake, Minnesota and they will become part of the ongoing study on Lake Monona which pits the growth rates of the Chippewa River strain vs the Leech Lake strain. To keep track of these fish, they are implanted with Passive Integrated Transponders (PIT) tags that can be read with a wand or reader when recaptured. In order to place the PIT tags into the fish the WDNR personal needed to anesthetize the fish to fin clip, tag, and measure the fish. The personal in charge of doing the delicate procedures were Dave Rowe, Jody Derks, Doug Lubke, Kim Kuber, Lori Tate, and Mike Rennicke. After they are drugged, they can be safely handled during the various steps of the operation and after all that, they are place into a recover tank. Due to the water temps being in the 40s it took a little longer for them to recover again. From there they are placed into a stock tank in the WDNR boat driven by Richard Brandt and two volunteers from the club and placed into the weed beds in various areas of the lake. In the end the operation tagged 287 muskies and they averaged 9 – 10 inches in length. The Cap City wanted 500 muskies for the study and has inquired about getting more of them, but no more were available for purchase from the MN Muskie Farm. A great project well done by the great members of the Capital City Chapter of Muskeis, Inc. PIT Tagging Process - After being drugged, the muskie is finned clipped, this year they got the left vent fin clipped, using left side for all Leech Lake strain and alternating the vent and pectoral fin every other year. - WDNR Tech Dave Rowe inserts the PIT tag on the left side, near the dorsal fin. Then they are measured, the tag is read, data is entered into the computer, and are placed into a recovery tank.
