A GRAND PRIZE FOR A GRAND CATCH!
Electricorp officer in charge John Greenwood won two stainless steel fishing rod holders as a prize in the Kilwell fishing contest held recently at Lake Taupo. We don't know the weight of John's catch, but we do know he played it for some time before his companions netted it. We also don't know the recipe used for cooking the catch but suspect it would have had to be a pretty imaginative one. John's 'catch' was a fine specimen of a Taupo Lake bottom rock! The prize from the competition was for the best fishing tale.
