A $100,000 100-yard dash.
Among the 500 anglers participating in a Manitoba ice-fishing derby last weekend were Theodore Muskego and his dad Glenn. They’d driven 500 miles to Cross Lake from their homes near the Alberta-Saskatchewan border to compete. With just a few minutes left in the derby, Muskego hooked giant pike, his biggest fish of the day. As time was running out in the one-day event, Theodore struggled to land the fish, which still had to be measured to be considered for the cash prize. With only seconds left to enter his fish, Theodore, who was wearing heavy winter clothing and boots, put his big pike in a bucket and ran as fast as he could to the derby’s measuring station. Other anglers and onlookers cheered him on. He made it to the station with just 35 seconds left on the tournament clock. The 39-inch pike won him a check for $100,0000.
