Paula Baldwin Sides just sent me this picture of her father-in-law Greg Sides with a really nice lake trout he caught. How would you like to pull this “whale” through your hole in the ice? Greg was in the Canteen Ice Fishing Derby near his hometown of Pequaming near L’anse Michigan. There were six cash prizes and one of them went to Greg. The overall winner hauled in an 18 pound fish. As you can see by the picture (the frozen fish) it was bitter cold the day of the derby, but that didn’t stop 95 hardy souls from trying their luck, through the ice. Congratulations Greg on your prize fish. I’m sure he’ll make a fine dinner for you and the family.

Thats the kind of frozen dinners I like. He doesn’t look much under the 18 lb. winner.
