I have contacted Johnson'sPortside Bait & Liquor for 2013 Perch Extravaganza Wiiners & Results.They were kind enough to inform me that they are posted in the current Mille Lacs Lake Messenger.
I checked the Messenger online, but so far no complete report was found due to my limited access.
The nice folks at Portside Bait & Liquor provided these top winners:
1st Place 1.53 lbs Perch $500 Paul Hinton
2nd Place 1.28 lbs Perch $250 Tom Hinecke
I believe the top ten winners earned up to a $100 prize.
Hope I have these names/spelling correct.
Great job to these winners ~ Malmo Mike MM

winning buttons need no verification... you had to be present to win.... Hunters will not know and neither will Portside. They call the number, you come up and they hand you the prize, no name verification, just a button number. (FWIW, some clowns were trying to take pictures of buttons on their phones up to the stage and claim a prize.... NEED TO BE PRESENT !) I am guessing that they did get the names of the Castle winners though... don't know if that is public info or not.
Why didn't they display what they were giving out VS. just calling #'s Would have been nice to know what they were giving out as it was so packed down there we couldn't get up to the prize trailer before the #'s were called only thing I heard was Gene Miller Guided Musky trip and some black power guns???
they did announce what was being given away. they would announce that they were giving out 20 bucket prize packages and then start rolling. I do agree, a more "ear friendly" announcer woudl go a long ways, in hearing better. The gal announcing does not have a microphone friendly voice...... plus at the end there, she called everyone "idiots"
