    Dear Members,

         We will be starting a Club Records Program for the Big Fish Contest, with Adult
    and Youth divisions. A starting list has been compiled from applications, old news
    letters & Wild Game Dinner programs, thanks to Terry Paris, Ray Cooper & Lyn
    Jerkins, who provided the information.
          Unfortunately I do not have all the applications for the Big Fish Contest from the
    time our club began in 1920. So I will accept applications for larger fish caught in the
    past if one has a photo of the fish or the trophy they received, or some other good
    documentation.
          Do not forget one had to be a member of the club the year the fish was caught.  A
    list will be printed in our news letter on a once a year basis. Club Record Big Fish will
    be recognized with a certificate on request.

    Mail applications to :   Lake County Fish & Game Awards
                                      P.O. Box 1006
                                      Hammond, IN 46325
                                                                                         Sincerely,
                                                                                                     Mike Berg
