Top: Vince Ekroot didn’t win a darn thing in the Beaver House fishing contest but he doesn’t look like he could care less by the smile on his face as he holds this stringer of good eating trout. Above right: Chris Angelo holds up a nice stringer of walleye she entered into the Beaver House fishing contest. Chris won $500 for this catch, and $200 for her stringer of splake. Above left: Robyn (Ekroot) Tweeten won $500 for finishing first place in the splake division of the Beaver House fishing contest. Robyn, the daughter of Chris Angelo and Vince Ekroot, also earned $200 for finishing second place in the splake division in the Beaver House fishing contest.
Guys need not apply. That’s what this fishing contest turned into as the mother and daughter team of Chris Angelo and Robyn Tweeten reeled in all of the money in the Beaver House Fish Contest held over the last two weeks.
The ladies didn’t leave a single greenback on the table for anyone else!
Christine (Chris) won first place with a stringer of splake that weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces. That netted Chris $500. Her second place walleye stringer, which weighed 11 pounds 9.9 ounces, garnered her $200.
Robyn beat out mom in the walleye category with a stringer of fish that weighed 13 pounds, 3.3 ounces. This haul earned her $500. Robyn’s take of big splake at 6 pounds, 6.5 ounces won her $200.
And that was it. That was all of the cash. Hook, line, and sinker, the ladies took it all.
Chris and Robyn are both now professional fisherwomen because each earned $700 for catching fish. That should be enough to a buy summer’s worth of bait for each of them.
To be fair here, Chris’s partner, and Robin’s dad, Vince Eckroot is a professional fishing guide and he may have had something to do with the ladies putting up such hefty stringers of fish. Maybe yes. Maybe no. But just maybe Vince had something to do with all of this great fishing.
