BIG BAY – Shannon Burns, 8, of Big Bay, showed up all the other anglers at the Lake Independence Fishing Derby in the category with the most entries – sucker. Hers measured 22-1/4 inches and tipped the scales at 5 pounds – netting the young ice-angler a $20 prize. The Juchemich family of Negaunee includes two of the most recent inductees into the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Master Angler Award program. They are Katie, 10 and her brother Mike, 7. Katie nailed a beauty of a bluegill on Sunday measuring out at 11-1/4 inches and 1 pound, 2 ounces. Not to be outdone, the next day Mike caught an 11 inch, 1 pound, 2 ounce specimen. Their mother, Pat, also caught a bluegill, leaving only dad, Mike, without a trophy.
