Does anyone have them? Or is there a website to see them?

[Massfisher]

No they dont have it listed any where.  There were some huge pike and huge bass caught this year.   Some of the sizes were rediculous.

Big catches made at Lions Club fishing derby

BROOKFIELD— It was a good day to be an ice fishing kid, especially for 10-year-old Ryan Berg of Dudley.

Ryan caught the biggest pout of the day in the 18th annual Brookfields Lions Club Fishing Derby on Quaboag Pond Saturday, taking home the children’s division trophy and the cash prize in the adult division as well with a 1.78-pound fish. The lucky young angler also caught a 23-inch pickerel that weighed 1.92 pounds.

“He had a good day. It’s a pretty competitive derby,” derby organizer Richard Kennan said.   


In the bass category Roland Gaboury of Brooklyn, Conn., was the big winner with a fish weighing 6.84 pounds. Second place went to Ryan Waugh of North Brookfield with a 5.97-pound fish. The third prize fish was landed by Clinton Calonis of Brookfield and weighed 5.76 pounds. Jordan Waugh of North Brookfield had a 5.4-pound bass that netted him fourth prize.

“They had a good day in North Brookfield,” Mr. Kennan said.

A pike that weighed 15 pounds and was 36 inches got Paul McDonald of Lynn a state pin as well as the prize for the biggest fish in that category. An 11-pound fish netted second for John Niklas of North Brookfield and third place was a 10.68-pound fish caught by Jonathan Rochleau of Sutton.

“All the fish were released,” Mr. Kennan said. “Most of the winners caught their fish at Quaboag Pond, where derby headquarters were set up.

While the event is typically a big fundraiser, unseasonably high temperatures made planning difficult and fear of bad ice conditions likely kept some fishermen away.

“The ice conditions caused us to come out just a little ahead,” Mr. Kennan said. “But we had really nice ice. A week ago I was sweating.”

Other winners took home raffle prizes, including an auger won by Jay Welsch of Rutland, a canoe won by Roy Briggs of Holliston and tilts and ice fishing basket won by Raymond Dupell of Charlton.

Another lucky kid, Colin Cormier, 7, of North Brookfield, won the $500 raffle prize.

Gotcha.  A guy with us was taking everything home to eat.  I tried to explain to him that a lot of the houses around Quaboug couldn't pass a Title V...  he didn't seem to care

[Roncarr]

[G.Horne]

I saw pics of "the board" and for the bass category there were a lot white released papers for the biggest bass, so thats good if most of the bigger bass were released
