The 2025 season is upon us! Here is our annual reminder to everyone of our annual release contest as well as our replica eligibility.
- Any BLC member that enters a fish into our release standings in a given month goes into a random drawing for a Musky Tackle Online gift card at the following month's meeting. MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN.
-
You can enter your fish online through the Lunge Log or submit in person at any meeting to our Release Chairman, Nathan Stifter. Submitting your fish electronically will save our release chairman a considerable amount of time.
-
If you would like to have your fish entered in the chapter contest but not be submitted to the national Lunge Log, you can download and print out a release form to be submitted to Nathan. Be sure that you check the appropriate box on the upper left hand corner.
-
NEW - We have created our own electronic BLC release form for chapter release contest entry only (not to be included in the national Lunge Log). You can also submit your fish and pictures for replica eligibility this way.
