Minneapolis, MN – Out of a pool of over 1,000 participants, Matt McKay of Rogers, Minnesota recently won the grand prize of the Evinrude powered Ranger Boat TESTRIDE program, sponsored by Rapala and Chase on the Lake. The grand prize is a guided day on Leech Lake with FLW Champion and Rapala Pro-staff Eric Olson, as Olson pre-fishes for the FLW tournament in June of 2011. The trip includes a deluxe accommodations package at the beautiful and historic resort-Chase on the Lake in Walker, Minnesota, with dining at The 502 Restaurant and Bar. To be eligible to win, McKay participated in TESTRIDE last summer out of Chase on the Lake in Walker.
“I own a Ranger Boat 620, but I wanted to check out the new models,” shared McKay. “And I’m excited about a chance to fish with a guide and pro on Leech. I’ll probably get to see a few new spots on other bays compared to the ones I usually fish on the big lake. Should be fun.”
Rapala pro Eric Olson is thrilled to provide the pre-fish day to McKay. “TESTRIDE is a hands-on experience of the fit and finish, as well as the feel of the Ranger Boat. It’s also a chance to learn rigging tips from a pro creating a total experience,” Olson commented from his home base near Red Wing, Minnesota. “For the winner, experiencing a phenomenal fishery at Leech Lake is just great all around.”
Free TESTRIDE events will be back during summer of 2011 with more great prizes. No pre-registration is required. Check out liddlemarketingcompany.com for complete details.
