Clinton News-Record, 1983-10-05, Page 19CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5. 1983—PAGE 19 Naturally SF eolith y Steve C 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. +++ The new Eddie Bauer Fall and Winter catalogue is out with all their old favorites, and some new items as well.

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. n- trances. Clinton to holit c inor s s c ey aches comic 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. i'anadian rrditional %t Pick up the Bucket:15 pieces of delicious, Finger Lickin' good Chicken!
