Bulletin, Progressive, Record, Reporter ' Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2011 5B Fish for a Wish offers anglers a $10,000 trout M. Kate West Chester Editor chesternews@plu masnews.corn For folks angling for some good fun, the seventh annual Fish for a Wish tournament is being held at Big Cove Re- sort on the Lake Almanor Peninsula Saturday, Aug. 6. The tournament begins at 6 a.m. and ends at noon. The really BIG news coming out of the tournament this year are the specially tagged fish. "There are a total of 15 trout that will be released into the lake. All fish will have prize tags on them but one will be worth $10,000," Fish for a Wish Tournament founder A.J. Casella said. He said the tagged trout released for the $10,000 pro- motion will be 5-pound rain- bow trout. "Not only will you get a chance to win $10,000 but you'll also get a chance at catching one of these mon- sters," Casella said. The other tagged fish prizes are certainly nothing to sneeze about and include high-value trips to Reno, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, gift certificates and fishing gear. This special promotion is separate from the gifts desig- nated for the winning an- glers. Casella said the winning criterion is the maximum weight for a total catch of five fish. First through third place anglers will win prizes and trophies. "The winners get to choose from an array of prizes, valued at $5,000 for these placements," he said. Offering even more chal- lenge and fun, the anglers may also ante up $20 to par- ticipate in the "Big Fish" category. Casella described the winning fish for this competition as the single biggest fish, by weight, caught during the tourna- ment. Although the fishermen are required to return by noon, fun for the landlub- bers will continue until 2 p.m. The featured live auctions, silent auction, prize awards and participant/community lunch all take place from noon until 2 p.m. Casella said the tourna- ment will also offer a prize drawing and said the grand prize will be for the raffle is a 46-nch Sony Bravia LCD TV. Lunch will feature grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and all the beer and soda you can drink. Ice cream and watermelon will follow for dessert. Last year 110 anglers par- ticipated in tournament and Big Cove fed 317 guests dur- ing the lunch told auction. "We are planning for about 400 this year," A,J. said. The tournament registra- tion fee is $60 for adults and $25 for kids and automatical- ly provides entry into the $10,000 tagged trout promo- tion. Anglers may register for the tournament until 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 6. Back-story to tournament Six years ago, then 13-yar- old A.J. Casella witnessed the incredible impact a granted wish had on his friend, John, who was bat- tling leukemia. John's wish was to attend the Major League All-Star baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston. From that experience, Casella made the decision to run a fishing tournament, an event that would combine his love of fishing with his desire to raise funds for kids in need of a wish. He set a short-term goal of raising $12,000 with his first tournament and the long- term goal of raising $200,000 in the "subsequent tourna- ments he would host before graduating from high school. The 2010 tournament raised $62,000, capped Casel- la's long-term goal and fund- ed four wishes. To date, 16 children have had the wishes closest to their hearts granted from proceeds raised during the annual Lake Almanor Fish for Wish tournaments. A.J. Casella is now 19 and the first person to chair the New Young Professional Ad- visor Council for the Greater Bay Area Make-a-Wish- Foundation. The annual Fish for a Wish tournament on Lake Almanor Aug. 6 is one of those events that lets you have a boatload of fun while deing something wonderful for children. Part of the day's excitement is watching A.J. Casella weigh in the biggest fish.
