The Jacob Aitken Memorial / Swan Lake Ice Fishing Derby, 15 February | Event in Brooks | AllEvents About the event The Jacob Aitken Memorial / Swan Lake Ice Fishing Derby
***Update: We've added two new cash prizes for the derby, in addition to the top 3 heaviest fish in adult and youth divisions:

1) First person to bring in a fish that beats last years winner gets $250. If there isn't a fish large enough, then it rolls to the next year. So if no fish beats last years winner, then next year it would then start at $500 for the first fish that beats the prior years winner....and so on each year. Last years winner was Alex Cook with a 4.70 lb bass. Be the first to beat that and win $250.

2) For every legal fish you weigh in, your name is put into a separate $500 cash raffle. We draw from those names at the end, and the name drawn gets $500.

* Please remember to register and support the scholarship fund! You must be registered before fishing. No cash prizes or shore prizes can be awarded if you haven't registered. We will verify that you've registered when you weigh in a fish.

Register by Feb 13th and be included in the early registration raffle for $75! ***

We have the date for The Jacob Aitken Memorial Scholarship / Swan Lake Ice Fishing Derby! We have planned the derby to fall on free fishing weekend again, on Saturday the 15th of February so that more people can participate. Cash and shore prizes will range anywhere from $750 cash for the heaviest fish (with cash for second and third place also, as well as a separate youth division) to a variety of shore prizes like an ice shelter or fish finder.

Check us out on Eventbrite to purchase registration tickets. You may also purchase through Venmo to @Whitney-Aitken or Paypal at paypal.me/WhitneyAitken. Please include all ticket holder names and phone #s when purchasing for others. We receive names from the ticket sales and they will automatically go into the Hourly Shore Prize Drawings. *If you purchase more than one registration ticket on Eventbrite, please send us a message after your purchase to provide us with the other names. (Eventbrite asks if you want to message the organizer but not until after you make your purchase) Purchase registration tickets ahead of time and skip the lines at the event, and you'll be included in our Early Registration Raffle to win $75! (to be considered for the Early Registration Raffle, your tickets must be purchased by 2/13)

We'll also be selling registration tickets on-site the day of the event and in several local stores (currently at Mandy's in Frankfort and Dodge Corner Bait Shop in Swanville). We'll have another 50/50 this year, as well. Our 50/50 winner from last year received $710! Look for us at the weigh station or out on the ice to buy your 50/50 tickets. We’ll have food for purchase and yard signs with our sponsors names to check out near the weigh station. We couldn't do this without them!

Specific cash prizes and shore prizes are listed on the derby's facebook page.

Help us raise scholarship funds for local HS seniors who are attending a college or trade school after graduation and/or for those who need assistance finding meaningful employment and housing. A donation to a local non-profit crisis center, The Shepherd's Godparent Home, will also be made.

Come out and honor Jake and his love of ice fishing! We hope to see you there!
