Five-year-old Wyatt Nicholson was among the top winners of the 37th annual Martha’s Vineyard Rod and Gun Club trout tournament held Saturday morning at Duarte’s Pond in West Tisbury. The young fisherman caught the biggest trout, an 18 ¾ inch rainbow, which put him into first place.
The Oak Bluffs youngster, accompanied by his father Caleb, fished early in the morning and also caught a 17-inch fish. For his efforts he won a brand new bicycle, fishing rod and trophy.
More than 150 children 14 years and younger participated under partly sunny skies. Fishing began at 5:15 a.m. and was over by 8 a.m. A lot of fish were caught early, said Cooper A. Gilkes 3rd, the chairman of the contest.
Complete results with more winners and stories and pictures will appear in the Friday, May 13 Vineyard Gazette.
