If you look up HOT in the dictionary right now, the definition will probably have the name Minnema in it. Way to go guys.

Good going Tim & Jim, and you thought I was kidding when I asked for your autograph on friday! Now I'll have to stand in line at Red Wing. See ya in October. Pat Cavins

[JMinnema]

Thanks to all the anglers that congratulated us on our victory at Bay de Noc. What a thrill!!! Still can't believe it. Pat thanks for being so patient with us when our board went a little too close to your boat. You are a good sportsman. Sometimes it does get a little hectic out there when we are all trying to go different directions in one area. See you in Red Wing.

I had the pleasure of fishing with Jim on a few occasions and I feel blessed to call him a freind. As alot of us know the apple didnt fall far from the tree when it came to fishing for Tim. Good Job guys and see you at Lake Peppin

Congratulations Jim and Tim! It must be a great feeling to consistently perform at the high level that you guys do. I was talking about you guys with a friend last night, and he was saying how he saw Tim at an RCL tournament and how he noticed Tim was such a hard working, dedicated angler. Glad to see that hard work paying off! Again, congratulations, and best wishes for much continued success!

Congratulations to you both. Enjoy the spotlight and know that you set a shining example for others to follow.

You two are such a class act. You give pro anglers a great name. As some of you heard, we had some motor troubles this tourney. No sooner did Kaz announce that we needed some spark plugs for Day 1 and Tim was right there offering us the use of his boat. Well, found plugs and carried on...until...well...

...then came Day 2, and we definitely needed a boat. :o We thank you so much for the use of yours.

We took off quickly on Sunday to hook up with the motor technician, so we didn't see your victory. We did experience your humility...
even when we caught up with you by phone on Sun night, we talked about the boat situation, but you made no mention of the WIN. We had to log onto the web to find out.

Looking forward to more great fishing and fellowship!

Hey you guys, Congratulations! It's been a great year for you two, and Tim, this has to be the icing on the cake for you. Way to go. Tim, would you, please, take a minute and e-mail me. I have some questions for you.

Thank You to All Aboard Walleye Central…

Thank you to the MWC and sponsors, North American Fishing Club, Cabelas, Delta County, Tom Polky and the tournament volunteers, Kaz and the teams at the event and especially my Dad for teaching me to fish and for the great times we will always remember.
Thank you also to our sponsors and promotional partners:
Ranger Boats-Mercury Outboards-South Bend-Lindy-Mann’s-Bait Rigs-Scotty-Lake Master

We have been fishing and tournament fishing for a long time, one aspect that does not change is the gracious spirit shared amongst all anglers. In my eye’s fishing is the greatest sport in the country. Fishing is enjoyable at any level a person wishes to take it, whether they are tournament fishing or bank fishing, or if they are two years old or Seventy-two years old.
Get out and enjoy a day of fishing soon, have fun, tomorrow may never come…

Thanks again for all of the kind post, we are looking forward to seeing everyone at Lake Pepin for the Team of the year shoot out… -Nascak and Kaczorowski have a good lead on the rest of the teams and are always consistent, they will be tough to beat.

Catch Ya Later -TMinnema

Congrats Tim. Shoot me an e-mail, you never sent me that pic of that 10-pounder we caught at Erie. I'm going to hold you to the flame until you do. LOL
