Catch and Release 1999
The
Largest Walleye Caught and Released in 1999 was 29" long
and was caught by Darlene Hall. She was very ably assisted by
her husband Wade. Wade
and Darlene have been visiting our resort for many years.
We are very proud to present Darlene with our 1999 Gentle Fisherman
Award for releasing the largest Walleye.
The largest Northern Pike Caught and Released was 42"
by Ron Johnson. Ron
and Judy have also been visiting us for many years and are
both enjoying recent retirements. Ron is the 1999 winner of our
Titus Trophy for the Largest Northern Pike released.
Below are the 5 largest Northern Pike and 5
Largest Walleyes released in 1999. Besides thanking all of these
tremendous sports people for releasing these large fish we will
also be presenting them with a 10% discount on their next vacation
at our Wilderness Island Resort. Releasing large fish is important
for 2 reasons. They are usually females which means they can produce
a lot more fish, and they may be genetically larger which helps
increase the average size of the fish population.

Every year we give away 40 10% vacation discounts
to our guests who participate in our Catch and Release program.
10 go to the people above who released the largest Northern Pike
and Walleye. The other 30 go to people who are randomly drawn
from the 100's of entries in our Catch and Release log. Every
time guest releases a Walleye over 16" or releases a Northern
Pike over 24", they are eligible to enter that fish in our
Catch and Release log book. The 2 red squirrels which were relocated
from the Duquette cabin to Timberwolf Island do not count.
