who reeled in the heaviest five-fish catch. Prizes in all three catego- ries, donated by Chris Chant of Holderness Marine, Biederman’s Deli, and Bass Pro Shop, were then awarded to the winners. A new rod and reel went to whoever caught the biggest fish, whoever caught the smallest fish received a new rod, and the person with the heaviest catch in each division took home a new reel.
While Gibson manned the mi- crophone to announce the start and finish times of each round of fishing, the men and women from the Elks were waiting under their tent to do the judging. Exalted Ruler Dot Ouelette declared that rain had not dampened anyone’s spirits one bit.
“We’re having a good year- a little slower than some years past, but this has been a good crowd here today. They are very enthu- siastic,” she said.
At least it didn’t snow this time, she added with a grin.

Stanley Hadley in the senior di- vision with a 10.78-inch trout, and T. Stewart, who brought in an 8.75-inch trout for smallest in the division.
For the Boys Group, ages five and under, Seven Sworab had an 11.5-inch trout, Aiden Whitcher had the smallest at 7.75 inches, and Santos Randall hauled in the biggest total weight of 7.75 lbs. of trout.
Top prize for girls in that age group went to Breyer Pelchat with her 10.3-inch fish, and Mag- gie Maynard reeled in a total of 1.10 ounces of trout. The small- est fish was not recorded.
In the Boys 6-10 division this year, Broghan Pierce reeled in an 11-inch trout for largest fish, and Connor Reed’s seven-inch trout won him the prize for smallest trout of the day. At the same time, Broghan also won the prize for largest overall weight with a cu- mulative five-fish catch of 11 lbs, 8 ounces.
First place in the Boys 11-15 year old division went to Braxon Beebe with an impressive 17&1/2 -inch Rainbow trout. Ryker Peck
Tromblay reeled in the smallest fish at a close seven inches. Cam- eron Burd also won a prize for her overall catch of 8.5 pounds.
Besides catching both large and small fish for prizes, there was another challenge to see who could pull in a tagged trout.

As in the tournament, the limit for a day of fishing in that pond is five trout. Anyone lucky enough to pull in a tagged trout can bring the tag to the Plymouth Recreation Department during their regular weekly hours, where they will be presented with their prize.
