Connecticut Prison Guard Fishing Derby on Hamilton Reservoir

Dennis Sturbridge resident Dennis Bonetti and his two fishing buddies Norm Butler and Glenn Tracy from Holland are upset and disappointed. After paying the $10 ticket price they feel “ripped off” by the organizer. Bonetti claims, “we where there on time, they took our money and ran!” Glenn Tracy claimed that after the organizer saw their catch the organizer decided that they were one minute too late to be considered.

The place to get the fish measured no later than 3 PM was simply described as P.J’s bar. Bonetti, Butler, and Tracy spent about five minutes just locating the measuring station that turned out to be in the back of a pick-up truck in the parking lot of PJ’s. There was no sign, Tracy stated. Bonetti was upset over the fact that the person in charge of determining the winner participated himself in the derby. “He should not have been allowed to participate,” Dennis Bonetti said. He proudly claims his bass was the third largest, “I should have made third prize in the category of largest fish.” Norm Butler claims he had the forth largest fish, also a bass. The three are buddies and have been ice-fishing together for many years and vowed never to participate in the Connecticut Prison Guard Derby again.
