Interest highest in 29 years for Moison fishing contest Angler interest in this year’s Moison Export Big Fish Contest is unprecedented in the 29-year history of the competition, say contest officials. Lance Males, Contest Admini­ strator, attributes the frenzy for the entry forms to the addition of the new Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters’ (OFAH) Grand Prize Draw. “We’ve put together a fisher­ man’s dream draw package worth more than $34,000, and demand for entry forms has exceeded our projections,” said Males. Included in the draw package are a Dodge Dakota pickup truck, a 15’ Stryker bass boat and trailer, and a 70 h.p. Evinrude outboard motor. Each Ontario resident (19 and over) entering the contest has one chance to win the OFAH Grand Prize Draw. Though just three months into the seven-month contest, one million entry forms have been distributed to eager sportsmen, exhaustingthefirst printing. A second printing is underway. Operated by the Ontario Federa­ tion of Anglers and Hunters, the Moison Export Big Fish Contest rewards skillful anglers in 20 classes of competition. Three hundred of the best receive a Berkley rod and reel combination, while 60 are presented with cash prizes, and 20 take home an Evinrude electric fishing motor. Value of these prizes exceeds $45,000. At contest’s end, one special angler will be awarded the prestigious title of Ontario Angler of the year, and the 9.9 h.p. Evinrude outboard motor that goes with it. The 1987 contest opened on April 15 and runs to November 30. All legally licenced anglers fishing in Ontario waters are invited to enter either of the two categories of competition - Catch and Keep or live release. Ten species offish are eligible: Largemouth Bass, Small­ mouth Bass, Northern Pike, Muskellunge, Walleye, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Speckled Trout, Rainbow Trout and Salmon.

The signatures of witnesses to these measurings are required, as is a photograph of the fish. Live Release fish are judged on their length and girth, while Catch and Keep entries are ranked according to their weight. The results of 1987 competition will be announced on January 15, 1988.
