* $1750.00 of total were paid to 3 lucky "Longest Fish" winners. $1000 went for a 20 7/8" trout; and two people with a 20" trout tied for second place and split the rest.
A unique and true fish story resulted when someone brought in a 13 1/2 lb. bass. When he was reminded that it was a trout derby, he said "look inside." And there in the mouth was a "piece of meat" portion of a trout with the tag on it. Value was $20.
Technically, the derby isn't over till May 19th and certain tags still have value until then. Check your derby rules for details. Keep your 2011 derby registration card handy and if you catch a fish with any of the numbers below take it with tag on to the Isabella Market at 6120 Lake Isabella Blvd. for verification:
The tag numbers passed to us are:
# 0036, 0099, 0212, 0364, 0401, 0455, 0595, 0659, 0797, 0901, 0955 each are worth $100 each
the # 0540 tagged fish is worth $2000
Good luck and keep bobb'n.
