Jake's Fishing Derby Hooks A Big One

The 17th Annual Jake's Charity Fishing Derby yielded good times and big winners, including a 20.5 pound Mackinaw Trout worth $1000.

With near-perfect weather and a spirited crowd on hand, the 17th Annual Jake's Charity Fishing Derby, held Sunday, June 6th, brought lots of good times, a few fish stories, and thousands of dollars raised for local charities.

This year's designated non-profit beneficiary was the North Tahoe Booster Club, which raises funding year-round for middle and high school sports programs. The derby has raised over $50,000 for local charities in its 17-year history.

Over 150 entrants took to Lake Tahoe's blue waters early Sunday morning, in hopes of catching a winning fish before noon's official cutoff. Winners are awarded prize money in three categories: Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Mackinaw Trout.

Robert Duvall Jr., 4.25 pounds

Brown Trout - $500
Terry Osmonson, 2.5 pounds
