Hector Sandoval of Creston is $10-grand richer after walking away with the top prize at the Kootenay Lake BC Family Day Fishing Derby Monday.
The event, hosted by Canadian Training Resources, by not only tossing out $30,000 in prizes but also donated 80 pounds of fresh fish to the local food bank in Creston.
Sandoval won the top prize by landing an 18-pound (34-5/8 inches) Rainbow Trout.
Second place went to David Jamieson with a 16.5 pound Rainbow with Rick Carlson finishing third.
Bruce McIntosh from Genelle placed first, winning $2,000 in the Dolly competition. McIntosh landed a 14-pound Dolly.
Second place went to Kirk Daley with John York taking home third.
Once again this derby was a tremendous success say derby officials, far surpassing even their own high expectations.
This year derby organizers asked fishermen to donate the fish they entered in the derby to the local food bank.
Bonus prizes were given throughout the weekend including a fishing trip for two to the West Coast, a fishing trip to northern Saskatchewan, and an outboard motor as well as many smaller prizes of gift cards donated by local sponsors.
