Results of the Lions Club Fisheree
The good Lord graced us with a picture perfect day for our 5th annual fisheree and meat raffle. We had a record number of fisherman competing for the cash in four fish categories. Most of the fisherman were already checked- in, and on the crystal clear water of Lake Ripley by 7:00am. There was a steady flow of fish to be weighed and measured, with the majority of fish being bluegills and crappies. A large number of bass were also weighed and measured with Bob Granger of Madison taking the 1st place prize and plaque. Scott Omit and Adam Eisele placed 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Taking the 1st place money and plaque in the walleye division was Doug Johnson of Cambridge. 1st place money and plaque for the northern pike division was Joe Peters of Cambridge. Rounding out the competition in the pan fish division was 1st place Harry Brodd of Deerfield, 2nd place, Joe Peters of Cambridge, and 3rd place went to Doug Johnson of Cambridge.
The Cambridge Lions Club members grilled hamburgers, brats, and hot dogs throughout the day, and held a very successful meat and pie raffle during the latter half of the day. We would like to thank a very special anonymous lady who supplied us with at least 10 home made pies and cheesecakes to raffle off. The quality of these pies was 1st class as I should know. I won a blackberry cheesecake and it looked so good we ate it soon after winning it!
After the meat raffle came the ticket raffle. Winners of these raffles are: 1st prize- Dave Keleher - Aqua view fish locater and underwater camera. 2nd prize - Sal Genco - 1/2 day pontoon boat rental donated by Dead End Bait & Tackle. 3rd prize - Eric Schmidt - 1/2 day pontoon boat rental. 4th prize - Bryan Farrar - rod & reel combo donated by Umbrella City Holdings/Fred Yeadon 5th prize - Eion Sullivan - rod & reel combo donated by Umbrella City Holdings/Fred Yeadon. 6th prize - Brook Speerbeck - Handmade Afgahn by Terry Peters. 7th prize - Steve & Amy Krause - Handmade Afghan by Terry Peters.
