Rhylan Ferens of Lac du Bonnet age 12 got his first big game animal, a barren land caribou scoring 304 7/8, on September 1st, 2009. Congratulations! Declan Hanley - age 3 with a monster northern pike. Declan and his father were fishing out at a friends cabin last July. This was Declan's first time fishing, and as his father, I was just so proud. I had bought Declan his very first "Big Red" fishing rod little guys. A few minutes later we were in the boat and heading for a good place to stop. 2009 Submissions: Nolan Honke, aged 3 1/2, with his first fish, a 10” pickerel caught on Lake Wahtopanah (Rivers) on July 28/09. Using Grandpa’s (Lawrence Honke) ice fishing rod, Nolan caught a perch and one other pickerel that day. Sadly, Grandpa only got one nibble, but we’re sure Grandpa didn’t mind one bit considering Nolan’s excitement and thrill of catching his first fish! We are not sure who was prouder – Donnie Bruce, 12, who got his first Sandhill Crane, with his first shot, on his first time out on September 1st! – or his dad, Rob Bruce who submitted this photo. Donnie also got his first Canada Goose (actually 2 geese) on September 13th. Michael Gledhill (St. Boniface Wildlife) caught his first fish this past June, but it’s unlikely that it will be his last!
