Fishing records set
Angling returns throughout Ontario in-
dicating the province is living up to its track
record as a consistent producer of big
freshwater fish and indications are you
don't have to be a professional angler to
catch them.
The largest lake whitefish ever taken on
rod and reel was caught this summer and a
new International Game Fish Association
all -tackle world record is pending. The fif-
teen pound five ounce fish was caught in
Clear Lake, in the Kawartha Lakes chain
located just north of the U.S. border, by 12 -
year old Chris Webster.
Lake whitefish are one of the more com-
mon fish in Ontario, growing to about the
same size as largemouth bass (commercial
fishermen have netted 20 pounders).
However, they are a much better eating fish
than bass and fight at least as well as
largemouths.
The record fish was hooked on a rapala
and the same day young Webster hooked
another in the same place that he believes
was also a whitefish. It broke his line.
A huge nine pound, eleven ounce brook
trout was also taken just north of the U.S.
border in Tetsmine Lake, north of Kingston.
It' took Kingston angler Dennis Stone 25
minutes to land the massive brook trout on
his four -pound test line using a golden -
shiner minnow.
.ether big fish records from the summer
months are pouring in. A 33 pound 8 ounce
lake trout has been taken from Lake
T e magami near North Bay by John Cook of
Itaca, New York, and a 28 pounder was
ta.Een in Lake of the Woods by Minnesota
angler Steve Leinonen.
oke
Fred Feathers from Elgin, Ohio has
already taken a 40 pound 8 ounce musky
from the Magnetewan River but the really
big muskies are not expected until
September and October.
Other good fish taken so far include an 18
pound 10 ounce rainbow from Shelter Valley
Creek on the north shore of Lake Ontario,
and a 22 pound 10 ounce chinook salmon
from Lake Huron. The really big salmon
and trout are not expected until fall.
Norris Chadwell from Pontiac, Michigan
has already taken a 29 pound 8 ounce pike
from Twin Lake near Nakina.
The salmon fishing in Lake Ontario is ex-
pected to improve dramatically as the fall
progresses and the largest examples of
pike, musky, brook trout, and lake trout are
normally caught in late summer and early
fall.
And don't forget to enter any big ones you
catch in the Molson's Big Fish Contest. Ap-
plications are available from the Federation
of Anglers and Hunters upon request, and
can also be found in many sporting goods
stores. You never know when you might
have a winner.

Grass drag race to
be held at Hully Gully
On Oct. 9, HULLY GULLY hosts the first
GRASS DRAG RACE for snowmobiles for
this season. Snowmobile Grass Drag rac-
ing offers both spectators and participants
a great deal of excitement.
Snowmobiles go from a standing, start
and in just under an eighth of a mile hit ter-
minal speeds of up to 100 miles per hour.
All classes will be racing, from the brand
new "crate" stock classes through the
modified, right up to the wild and hairy
"open modified machines. The new crate
stock is something never done before — it
allows 100% stock machines to race and
it's a perfect way for snowmobilers to try
out their machines without putting
together a racing budget. No claws, or
cleats are necessary. A snowmobile right
off the showroom floor can race in the
"crate stock" class. It's also a good way
for potential racers to try racing under
controlled conditions.
The Oct. 9 races are a warm-up for the
upcoming Ontario Grass Drag Champion-
ships on October 30. Also scheduled for Oc-
tober 9, are 3 -wheeler ATV drags, as well
as -a chance for snowmobilers to try
WATER -SKIMMING across the pond at
Hully Gully. That's also a pretty exciting
and entertaining, though highly unusual
form of snowmobile competition.
The racing action begins bright and ear-
ly at 10:30 Sunday morning, October 9 with
the crate stock classes charging down the
drag strip, and all other classes, including
the modifieds and open modifieds rating
at 1:00. Hully Gully is west of Highway 4
between Clinton and Hensall, and east of
Highway 21. Signs mark the major en-
trances.

Clinton Minor Hockey held a successful
registration this year with about 140 players
signing up.
According to Minor Hockey President
Ross Jewitt, the response was about the
same as last year. This season, however, the
response from the coaches was excellent.
Mr. Jewitt said each team from mite to
midget will have between three and four
coaches per team.
Mr. Jewitt said the possibility of Clinton
having a juvenile team is slim. Registration
saw only three juvenile -aged players sign
up.
in an effort to keep coaches informed and
maximize their coaching abilities, Clinton
Minor Hockey is going to hold a coaches
clinic. Dan Colquhoun will be coordinating
the clinic.
Mr. Jewitt said the coaches clinic would
improve the entire minor hockey system.
The WOAA season for Clinton teams is
expected to begin around Oct. 12.
The Huron Hockey School in Clinton is nearing the end of another successful session.
Between 85 and 90 kids signed up this year, up slightly from 1982. The hockey school
closes on Saturday. ( Rod Hilts photo)
Panthers pound CHSS
By Rod Hilts
On Sept. 29, the CHSS Redmen Senior
football team lost their first game of the
season 20-0 to the South Huron Panthers.
The Redmen fell victim to their own
mistakes as fumbles led to two Panther
touchdowns.
CHSS opened the game with a strong
offensive attack that ran for two first downs
and collected one through the air. The drive
eventually stalled and both teams seemed
content to play a punting game for most of
the first quarter.
Late in the first quarter, the Redmen
fumbled a, punt and South Huron recovered
the ball on the 20 -yard line. The Panther
offense went to work and on four plays they
scored a major, on a one -yard plunge by
Chris Vangerwen.
With 34 seconds remaining in the first
half, South Huron was set to punt on third
down and four, when their punter opted to
gamble and fired a pass over the, middle for
a first down on the CHSS 40 -yard line. The
Panthers roll-out passing game went to
work and after three plays they scored on
another one -yard run with 16 seconds left on
the clock.
South Huron added their final points in the
fourth quarter on a touchdown and a single...
Late in the final quarter, CHSS fumble tfi
their 35 -yard line and once again the'Pan-
thers capitalized for a touchdown.
CHSS head coach Ken Reidy was pleased
with his team's effort despite the outcome.
"It was a hard-hitting game and the team
played well. Our offense stalled in the
second half because we couldn't get the ball
outside past the blitzing linebackers," said
NKSGIVI
PECIAL
Coach Reidy.
An injury to fullback Roger Striker, who
twisted his ankle in the first quarter, forced
the CHSS coaching staff into changing their
offensive lineup. Rookie John Beattie filled
the hole at fullback and played well. Earlier
in the week the Redmen received some bad
news when Flanker Fred Radley sprained
his ankle in practice.
Coach Reidy praised the play of his
defense, particularly middle safety Austin
Roorda and inside linebacker Roger Cun-
ningham.
Roorda intercepted two passes and made
six tackles, while assisting on eight others.
Cunningham made three tackles, assisted
on five and had a quarterback sack.
"Our defense improved over last game.
There was a lot more gang tackling and they
didn't give up any big plays," said Coach
Reidy.
Offensively, quarterback Terry Dobson
ran for 30 yards and completed three passes
for 35 yards. Don Hearn came in to run some
reverses in the second half. The Redmen
had eight first downs in the game.
In preparation for their next game, Oct. 6
when they host Norwell, Coach Reidy
stressed that the team will work on its of-
fense in practice.
"We have to work on our outside running
game. We'll be looking at plays to go around
the outside," he said.
Coach Reidy said Norwell has three
outstanding players that CHSS will have to
contain. In summing up his team's chances
against Norwell, the CHSS coach stressed
that his team must play excellent defense to
be competitive.
