The tournament in Alpena marked both the first time the anglers did not know where they would be fishing and also the first time the fishing was spread among three different bodies of water. The three locations were not revealed publicly, but we do know Presque Isle's very own Grand Lake was one of them. The anglers launched their flashy boats from the Presque Isle Harbor Association Beach House, causing quite a stir in our quiet community.
Also spotted around Presque Isle was Sasquatch, the well loved mascot of Jack Link's beef jerky, known for his humorous commercials. He visited the Presque Isle Lighthouses, took pictures with staff and patrons at the Portage General Store and traveled aboard the boat of local charter captain Ed Retherford of Trout Scout V Sport Fishing Charters with film crew in tow.
All of the fishermen and production crew, even the Major League Fishing Commissioner himself had nothing but great things to say about our community, our people, and most of all our fishing. Commissioner Don Rucks had the following to say:
"The community of Alpena welcomed us in a truly special way. We had a tremendous week-plus in the region, but the highlight was the fishing, which was nothing short of amazing."
"I think viewers will be blown away when they see what our Major League Fishing anglers delivered in Alpena. I'm still shaking my head at some of the performances we saw."
Rucks also asserts that the event will be "the best show we've put on air."
The 2014 General Tire Summit Cup will begin airing on the Outdoor Channel in January 2014. The series will feature not only the fishing but highlights of our beautiful area. Also, be on the lookout for new commercials featuring the Jack Link's Sasquatch, filmed right here in our very own backyard!
Local residents will certainly be tuning in beaming with pride, and we are excited to see what happens when our area, a hidden gem, is revealed to millions!
