Rockstone Fish Festival 2007

Guymine.com: Prizes were given to the various winners of the competitions held and while in some cases persons who were not officially recognised as participants still impressed those in attendance. The winner of the biggest Pirai fish was E. Leung which weighed 3-3/4lbs, Richard Lambert and Nand Kishoon who is from St Vincent catching also a Lukanani fish which weighed three and three-quarter pounds.

The biggest Cat Fish (Cullett) was just less than two and three-quarter pounds and Vishwanand Narine caught an Arawana which weighed just under one and three quarter pounds.

However the strangest fish was caught by six-year old Daniel Rampersaud, for which a special prize is to be given, while two men were seen with what was the biggest catch of the day. They, however, were not official participants and their catch of two Hymaras of 15 pounds and 14-1/2 pounds were easily the most impressive.

But later Gregory De Souza, who was stranded, having caught the biggest Lukanani at Rattlesnake Rock, seven miles from Rockstone up the Essequibo River, which weighed over seven pounds, was also rewarded for his catch.
