You can catch a record fish
Fishermen! Did you know that you can
catch a World Record fish that can weigh
just over a pound? Well, you can, and while
you're at it, you just might win $1,000 to
boot.
The International Game Fish Association
(IGFA) maintains a set of records for fish of
most species caught on line of varying
strengths. For instance, an eight lb. Rain-
bow caught on 201b. test line would definite-
ly not be a record, but that same fish caught
on two lb. test line could well be. Because
IGFA recently expanded its record system,
there's currently no record for many
species and any fish over one pound ( .453
kg) is eligible for new record status. And to
top it off, one fishing line manufacturer is
sweetening the pot even more.
Berkley & Co., maker of TRILENE
premium fishing line, has begun a program
offering $1,000 to any fisherman who breaks
an IGFA record on TRILENE line. This
award applies to any record fish caught on
TRILENE between July 1, 1983 and
Deceaaaber 31, 1984. The $1,000 reward will be
given for any IGFA line class or all tackle
record in either freshwater or saltwater
caught on standard tackle. Fly rod
categories are not eligible.
Should you catch a potential record, you
should take these few precautions. Take
legible photos which show the full length of
the fish, a photo of yourself with the fish, the
rod and reel used and the scale used to
weigh the fish. Photographs must be legible
enough to permit species identification. An
additional photo of the fish on the scale with
the weight visible will help expedite the IG -
FA application. Save 50 feet of the line and
the complete leader (if any ). These items
rnust be included with an IGFA application.
Many record fish are caught each year by
casual anglers. If you catch a potential
record you may obtain IFGA rules and
regulations by sending $1 with your request
to: The International Game Fish Associa-
tion, 3000 East Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauder-
dale, Fl., 33316.
The official rules for the $1,000 contest are
as follows: 1. The IGFA record fish must be
caught on TRILENE. Fish caught between
July 1, 1983 and December 31, 1984 are eligi-
ble. 2. The TRILENE $1,000 Reward will be
issued for all tackle or line class records,
EXCEPT FLY ROD categories., Fly rod
categories have been excluded because IG -
FA testing procedures require the complete
tippet and therefore do not allow TRILENE
identification. 3. The $1,000 Reward will be
paid direct by Berkley & Co. for any IGFA
approved world record published in IGFA's
bi-monthly newsletter, "The International
Angler", or in their 1984 World Record
Game Fishes book. 4. The world record ap-
plicant is required to sign a standard
release which entitles Berkley and Com-
pany to use their name, photo, biographical
and catch information for advertising and
promotional purposes. Berkley & Company
reserves the right to require polygraph
verification of any world record claim. 5. To
apply for the TRILENE $1,000 Reward, send.
a copy of IGFA's official acceptance letter
of your world record to: "$1,000 Reward",

CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1983—PAGE 17
Making the best of Hur n C's unty winters by hitting the trails
By `.od Hilts
Last winter 120 cm of snow fell on the
area. The amount was 59 per cent below the
normal amount. While motorists jumped for
joy, avid snowmobilers didn't share their
enthusiasm. This year John Gibson of RR 2,
Seaforth, the newly -elected president of the
Clinton and District Snowmobile Club Inc.,
is hoping the weatherman is a Little more co-
operative.
"Last winter we wanted to hold more
activities but the weather wouldn't co-
operate. It was a bad winter for
snowmobilers," John said.
According to founding president Marny
Walden of Bayfield, the Clinton club has
been in existence since 1970. She had no
estimate of how many members there were,
but said, "they used to fill the council
chambers at Clinton Town Hall for their
annual meeting."
At present, the club has just over 100
members. John said that since the club was

On December 11 a Canadian Figure

the Clinton Figure Skating Club and held at
the Community Centre. The following
skaters are to be congratulated:
Preliminary Figures Test - Lloyann Adams,
Lori Powell.
First Figure Test - Lisa Beattie.

Hayter, Sherri Preszcator.
Swing Dance - Chastity Colquhoun.
Ten Fox - Paula Glew, Jennifer Jewitt.
Fiesta Tango - Melanie McCone.
Fox Trot - Jody Merner.
Tango - Jacquie Draper.
As well as our own Test Day, some of the
skaters have•also been taking part in other
competitions.
December 1, Jody Merner with partner
incorporated in the fall of 1980, there have
F en more inter -club activities. He said this
year the non-profit organization is stressing
more family involvement.
Activities included for 1983-84 are pot luck
dinners, cookouts and family trail rides.
Many other plans are in the works. Earlier
this month, the club held a snowmobile
driver training course for drivers 12 -years
of age and over. According to instructor Joe
Gibson, over 30 students signed up for the
course. By passing the course, the students
are permitted to travel the trails. ( Must be a
club member or a Lake Huron Snowmobile
Association member to travel trails.)
The Clinton club has over 50 miles of trails
to enjoy thanks to good co-operation with the
land owners. John said the club has pur-
chased a lot of stakes and signs, to mark the
trails.
To keep those trails smooth, the club has
purchased an Alpine and trail groomer. Last
ews
Devin Horton of Goderich competed in the
Pre -Novice Dance Event at the Western On-
tario Section Competition in Preston.
December 10, Paula Glew, Melanie Mc -
Cone and Shelly Hayter competed in a com-
petition in Delhi.
December 17 is the Skating Club's
Christmas Party. All members – tots to
seniors – are invited to attend during
regular Junior skating time ( 9:40 - 10:40
a..m.) There will be games, gifts and best of
all - a visit from SANTA!!
There will be regular skating Wednesday,
December 21, Saturday, December 24 and
Wednesday, December 28. There will be NO
SKATING Saturday, December 31, due to
the Junior Hockey tournament. Tots will
skate on December 19, but NOT on
December 26.
We would like to express our thanks to all
those people who ordered cheese this year.
year, Wintario granted the club $3,56136
( half the project cost) to purchase the
groomer. The club raised the other half
through dances and other inter -club ac-
tivities.
The club also plays a part in raising
money for Easter Seals. John said the club
has been associated with four snow-a-ramas
for crippled children. He said three years
ago the club started to hold their own snow-
a-ramas for charity because, "the other was
poorly organized." The first year the club
held a charity run on their own they raised
$1,300.
This year's club executive includes vice-
president Ray Kennedy, secretary -
treasurer Ralph and Joyce Feltz, trail co-
ordinator Lenard Jamieson and regional
director Bert Vanderdool.
On Jan. 28, the club will be holding one of
their biggest events of the season. On that
date, a poker rally will he held. John would
also like to remind everyone that tickets are
available from any snowmobile club in the
area for the Region lottery draw to be held
on April 7. First prize is $1,000. Proceeds of
the draw will go toward trail development.
Snowmobiling is a sport that can be en-
joyed by the entire family. The Clinton and
District Snowmobile Club Inc. is working
toward that goal.
"We're trying to organize the sport and
get some fun into it. We try to give people a
place to ride, keep them off the streets. We
hope what we're doing will better the
community," John concluded.
