Lines are out of the water as Rotary Club of Chapleau's 23rd annual Pike Ice Fishing Derby is now in the books.
Attendance was high - with all 800 tickets for the derby sold only three weeks after they went on sale - while several pike were reeled in, including a 7.7 pound pike from Kevin Henry, which claimed the $10,000 first prize.
Rounding out the top three were a 6.33-pounder from Adam Gauthier - which won him a Honda A-T-V - and a 5.49-pounder from Luc Jacques , who claimed the $4000 third prize.
The entry prize of a 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Classic 4x4 went to Roger Roy, while Chris Roy of Wawa won $5000 for catching the tagged fish, and Roger Lapointe won $2080 through the 50/50 draw - the rest of the money goes to support the Chapleau Ski Hill.
