Just got home from a week of fishing at Drummond Island, Michigan.

Made a plaque for the person who catches the biggest perch. 

The guys liked the plaque so much it will be an annual thing to bring the plaque back and hand it over to the next one. At least they will be able to display it for one year!!

On the back will be the year, the guys name and the size of the perch.

This years winner had a 12 1/4" perch.

I had the biggest perch last year so I decided to make it for this years winner.

Hopefully this will go on for years to come.

At least my name is on the back for making the plaque if I never win it back again for the biggest perch .

 

Cool plaque! Nice to have a rotating award. Lots of fun and bragging rights.

 

The school I used to work at had a rotating award for years- until the new administration took over- it was the Golden Shovel. You can imagine how the recipients were picked 

yes.. way cool...

Great idea.  I hope the tradition continues for many years.

Welcome back Larry. Sounds like you had a great trip, well except for the Perch-man award thing.  Awesome idea and job on the plaque. At least you got to hold it before you passed it off!  And like you said, your name is on it forever...
