Military Service Recognition Book 132 Vol.13 No.3 Sep 24 - Oct 13/14 Join Senior Scope on: FREE COPY Betty Churko (left) received the prize for the biggest fish won by a senior. Betty caught 22 fish in total from the shorebank - 1 walley, 1 goldeye and 20 saugers. She caught the most saugers out of all the fishers combined. Sharing in her excitement and prizes are her son, Marty Churko and grandson, Liam. Attention All Anglers! The 2014 Selkirk Wild Walleye Derbyheld on Saturday, Sept. 20th, out of Selkirk Park, turned out to be a soggy one for the 97 anglers fishing in 36 boats and the 9 anglers fishing off the shore. After a sunny and windless morning of fishing, at about 12:00 noon huge dark clouds rolled in and the anglers had to put up with 3 straight hours of heavy rain. At around 2:15 p.m. Joe and Michelle Kennedy of Winnipeg pulled their big boat up to one of the docks and Joe gently placed a huge greenback walleye into our half filled cooler of water. He and one of the derby officials then raced up to the weigh-in kiosk to have the huge fish weighed. Michelle was the one who had caught the Master Angler Walleye and when she got to the scale she was totally soaked and shivering unstoppably. To say she was excited about her catch is an understatement. Her big walleye tipped the scale at 4.25 Kg (9.35 lbs) and was 29.5" long. It was by far the biggest walleye weighed in on Derby Day. At the Prize Presentation Michelle of Winnipeg won the 1st Place Prize of an Alumacraft Jon Boat from Luke's Town Service in Elie, 12% of the Entry Pot, and a Plaque. The 2nd Place Prize went to John Klassen of Oak Bluff for his 2.614 Kg walleye. John won a Guided Fishing Trip with City Cats Guide Service, 10% of the Entry Pot, and a Plaque. Third Place Prize went to Kyle Klassen also from Oak Bluff for his 2.365 Kg walleye. Kyle's Prize was a Danny's Whole Hog BBQ Party Package for 60 People + 8% of the Entry Pot. A really great prize. Great merchandise and gift voucher prizes were awarded up to 27th Place and a Raffle Draw was held at the end of the Presentation to give out a lot of our sponsors' and prize donors' Freebees. Three Bonus Prizes were also presented. The Prize for the Biggest Sauger (0.422 Kg) went to Rogelie Custodia of Winnipeg, the Prize for the Biggest Fish (0.268 Kg) caught by a Youth went to Ms. Jadin Unik of Winnipeg, and the Prize for the Biggest Fish (0.394 Kg) caught by a Senior went to Betty Churko of Winnipeg. Derby Organizer Dan Sernyk said, "Due to the very warm (60F) and silty river water the walleye and sauger bite was very slow to say the least and only 7 walleye and 20 sauger were weighedin all day.” Sernyk added, "At least Michelle Kennedy's big greenback walleye saved the day for everyone!" Sernyk mentioned that if he puts on the 2nd Annual Selkirk Wild Walleye Derby next fall it will have to be at least a week later and possibly even on the Saturday of Thanksgiving Weekend in October. Cooler water will entice the greenbacks to make their run which in turn will result in many more anglers entering next year's event. This will also make Sernyk's donation to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba a much larger one than this year. Sernyk said, "I am very happy with the support and great prizes I received from my 6 Major Sponsors, namely Continued on page 6 Vol.12 No.14 July 9 - Aug 4/14 Join Senior Scope on: News anchor and special guest speaker at the 55 Plus Games in Neepawa, Lloyd Robertson, signs a few autographs.
