Wawa Reels in "Ice Fishing Capital of Ontario" Title

Wawa is the "Ice Fishing Capital of Ontario".

The community topped the recent Ontario Ice Fishing Challenge with 37,754 points, far ahead of second-place Moonbeam's 22,143 and third-place Chapleau's 21,599 - Kapuskasing and Dubreuilville round out the top five.

Despite claiming the title with "collective catch", Wawa didn't land the top fish: the longest fish was an 113 cm Northern Pike caught by Jacques Bernard of Kapuskasing; White River's Darryl Godin caught the longest trout, at 102.9 cm; Matheson's Jeremy Van De Kraats reeled in a 77.5 cm walleye; and Moonbeam's Jakob Beauvais caught a 40.6 cm Yellow Perch.

Wawa's Kathleen Johnson did top Total Fish Caught, with 557 points.
