The 2022 Rankin Inlet Trout Derby was one to remember, with some of the biggest catches in recent history.
Pelagie Kritaqliluk pulled up a 47.5” monster to win top spot. In front of hundreds of people at the community hall, he had her choice between a brand-new snowmachine or ATV, going with the 2022 Rubicon 520 Honda.
Even the second-place trout, a 45 and 11/16” beast caught by Corinne Pilakapsi, would have been the winner in all of the last three years. She won $9,000 for second.
The May 20-23 trout derby was followed by the cod derby May 27-29.
