Thompson, Conn. — A 10-year-old Thompson boy pulled $10,000 through a 6-inch hole in the ice on Sunday.
Evan Zanauskas hooked the lucky tagged trout at the Valley Springs Sportsmen’s Club’s ice fishing derby.
The Thompson Middle School student caught the fish using a lure he had tied himself, organizer Dave Bousquet said.
“There were tears in people’s eyes when we announced his name. The club was just electrified when they found out he won,” Bousquet said.
The annual ice fishing derby brought out the maximum 150 people, and forced organizers to turn another 30 or 40 away, organizer Steve Bousquet said. Usually, he said, about 120 take to the ice.
