Full Throttle Fishing returns to Mille Lacs Lake on July 25th , anglers of all skill levels are invited to fish. One stage, two-divisions Bass and; or Walleye. The Walleye side will feature a Catch, Measure, Photo, and Release format this is sure to make for some great limits of Walleye. We have had nothing but positive feedback on making this decision. The Bass side will be a standard tournament format. Mille Lacs Lake has become one of states premier Smallmouth Bass fisheries, which should equate to some impressive weights. It’s hard to beat the excitement of a smallmouth exploding up from the depths to strike a topwater bait.
