Thank you to all the anglers who participated in this year’s Mineral Lake Fishing Derby. The amount of participation and positive sportsmanhip was outstanding! From selling you your tickets, to weighing in your fish, to announcing our winners, it was a pleasure to meet everyone of you!
Many of you may know Mineral Lake is known as, “Home of a ten pound trout!” This year, you ensured this moniker will continue to be used when referring to Mineral Lake!!
The top Derby winner weight in at a whopping 10.38#!!
- 1st Place | Mark L. | 10.38# & 28”
- 2nd Place | George | 8.71# & 27.25”
- 3rd Place | Noah | 8.58# & 26.5”
- 4th Place | Noah | 8.25 & 27”
- 5th Place | Jack | 7.88# & 26#
Our “Last Chance Bucket” winner is Mike Harstad (represented by his adorable daughter).
Originally, 5th Place went to Nathan, coming in at 8.0# & 26.5”. Unfortunately, he was not present at NOON when the winners were announced, and the judges were forced to select the next angler, which was Jack at 7.88# & 26#. We hope Nathan and all of you will be back next year! We can’t wait and already are thinking of ways to make the weekend even more enjoyable.
Respectfully,
Your Derby Committee.
