Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Rural Fire Department’s Fishing Derby was held Saturday February 22, 2014 at Jamestown Reservoir.
About 800 anglers braved the elements, with over 175 fish caught.
The annual event raises around $30,000 for the all-volunteer JRFD, going toward equipment costs. This year, the funds raised will likely go toward a 3,000-gallon tanker that costs about $200,000.
The balance of the costs will come from grants and funds from the rural fire district.
Destiny Jacobson caught the biggest perch, weighing .56 pounds. Royal Sargent caught the largest Walleye, weighing 1.66 pounds. Ryan Fisher, caught the largest Northern whaich weighed 11.92 pounds. Mike Ludwig caught the biggest Crappie at 1.15 pounds.
