The big one that didn't get away
By Chris Slcatkos
T -A Reporter
It's common knowledge that some fishermen exaggerate when telling
the story about the big one that .got away, while other anglers down
right fabricate a fictitious tale.
But for two Local anglers, their big fish stories are not only validated,
they are also documented. Dashwood
andDwight of Teresa
Bi f Gr Bend landed the first and third
largest fish in this year's Grand Bend Salmon and
Trout Fishing Derby. Sheppard's first place sal-
mon tipped toe scales at 21.32 lbs and Brenner's
third place salmon weighed in at 19.25 lbs.
The Grind Bend Derby is an annual event that
draws veteran anglers from all over the province
hoping to catch "the big one," along with the big
prizes thatD come with it.
This year, fish tale bragging rights goes to two
local people who caught their salmon On the same
day of the derby; however that's wherethe sim-
ilarities end as both of them have a totally dif er .
ent story to tell about the big one that didn't get
away.
Dwight Sheppard Is a sport fishing veteran. He
has participated in the Grand Bend derby since it
began eight years ago but this was the fust time
he had won anything.
"Usually people from out of town win...I've
never even come close," said Sheppard. But this year the 21.32 ib mon-
ster he reeled in earned him top prim. He caught the salmon on a Tues-
day afternoon just four days into the derby off of Pinery Provincial
Park to about 40 feet of water.
TNa was the biggest fish be has ever caught out of Lake Huron, but
according to Sheppard it didn't put up much of a fight.
"It tart fora bit but I didn't think it wase big fish because it only took
me 10 minutes to reel in," he said.
Sheppard's fishing partner Bob MacEachern remarked that it could
be a contender for first plate, however, Sheppard wasn't as optimistic.
1 said to him, 'Ohh there's a lot bigger fish out there.'"
They took it to the weigh-in station right away and it held on to the
number one position for six days until the derby officially closed. The
lucky lure Sheppard used, a lime green and orange
bomber was actually a common lure
among derby anglers and according to
Sheppard it is a feast the fish just can't ig-
nore.
"That lure caught a few fish but the ones
that got away were bigger than the one we
kept," he said.
As for his trophy fish, the Grand Bend
Derby Committee is going. to have it
mounted for him and Sheppard already
knows where it's going.
"I've already got a spot on the living
room wall ready," he said.
Teresa Brenner, on the other hand, is a
fishing rookie.
"I'm no: a read fisherman, I just enjoy
being out on the lake," admitted Brenner.
Unexperienced at recognizing when a
fish may be tempting the bait, one would
think Brenner was watching the rip of her
fishing pole intensely, eagerly awaiting
the jerking motion that would signal a fish was on.
"I was reading a book," she said about the moment the fish struck
shortly before dusk.
Nevertheless, Brenner hooked into a 19.27 salmon two miles north
of the marina in 28 feet of water on the fourth day of the derby. Since
she has never caught a fish of this size before, Brenner couldn't tell if
it put up much of a fight
Dwight

"I don't know what a big fight is, but it provided 15 minutes of en-
tertainment while I reeled it in," she said candidly.
Despite her lack if fishing prowess, Brenner challenged the scaly
monster while being coached by ha husband Mike, a seasoned angler.
1 didn't know what I should do...I was busy screaming and laughing.
I couldn't believe the size, it was hugel" she said. Her husband gave
her top marks but as soon as the frisky fish was
safely inside the boat controversy erupted over
who it belonged to. Brenner had reeled it in using
her husband's pole.
"I said it was his and he said it was mine," she
recalled. However, the argument was settled
when Mike attached Teresa's ticket to the fish at
the weigh-in station.
Because they caught it late in the evening they
had to wait until the weigh-in station opened the
next morning. There was only a fraction of an
ounce difference between Brentter's salmon and
the second place fish and waiting overnight May
have made the difference between the two since
fish are known to lose a bit of weight once
they're pulled out of the water. (Jackie Shute a
native of arw)d Bend who is residing in Puslineh,
Ontario won second with a 19.27 Salmon. She is
the daughter of Erwin and Luria Schottroff.)
However, the close call between second and
third didn't bother Brenner who originally wasn't
expecting to catch a>iything. In the past she has
purchased tickets just to support the Grand Bend fishing derby, but
from now on Brenner guarantees she won't take any more books with
bar daring next year's derby.
"I'm hooked," she said about her new found hobby. "I've always en-
joyed going out On the lake spending time with my husband but now
I'm more hnerested in actually fishing."
