KC-1 finished in 1st place during the Muskegon Salmon Shootout (July 10-11 2010) after putting two solid days of fishing together.

The Team Thompson crew captained by Russell Gahagan (center) and flanked by brothers Dave VanAkkeren (left) and Pete VanAkkeren (right) literally blew away the competition to win the Sheboygan Salmon Cup inaugural event. A combination of Rapture Flies pulled behind Protroll flashers and Michigan Stinger Protroll flashers proved to be the right combination. 23 lbs seperated them from the rest of the pack. Congratulations!

Captain Mark Bachman and Hour Time crew accept the "Stinger" big trout award at the Sheboygan Salmon Cup at Sheboygan, Wi. The big laker weighed 12.80 lbs and was caught on a Rapture Fly behind a "PK Special" pattern Stinger Protroll flasher. Captain Mark and crew went on to take second place in the Pro division of the tournament. Good job guys!!

Congratulations "Hit Man" on the second place finish in the recent Grand Haven Offshore Challenge. The Hit Man team, pictured left to right: Capt.Chip Klein, Chris Slater, Don Lipinski, Jim Vanderwest, and Mike Harvey. The team won the "second chance" money by moving up the most places the second day of the tournament from 9th to 2nd place with the heaviest box of the entire tournament (99.29 lbs for 12 fish). Chip sends a special thanks to sponsors Michigan Stinger, Pro Troll, and Rapture Trolling Flies for all their support.

The fish was taken from very shallow water on a Stinger Scorpion silver "boy- girl" pattern. It measured 31" and weighed 10.32 lbs. A really great Walleye on any water! Unfortunately it was taken pre fishing the day before a tournament. Timing is everything!

Big Lake Ontario Trout falls for the often overlooked combination of flasher and spoon aboard Capt Shan Bissell's Osprey 1 out of Sodus. Pictured is the 42 second Michigan Stinger Pro Chip 8 flasher and a Stingray spoon.
