Roger Moller's fish story starts out like most with a fish about roughly
about "that" big. But, it's not the size of the 16-inch,
three-pound trout that's important. His fish, which he caught while
teaching his three-year-old nephew Seth how to cast, is different.
There are only 50 others like it, and each is worth $500 dollars

Fishermen land big ones and prizes
$500 fish part of group's efforts to promote area
JOE MAHER, Gazette Reporter
Three lucky anglers have hauled in specially tagged fish worth $500 each
in an ongoing contest sponsored by the Great Sacandaga Lake Business
Association. When the Great Sacandaga Lake Fisheries Federation was
stocking the lake this spring business association members affixed
special tags on 50 trout. Anyone who catches one with the tag can bring
it to Capt. Carl's Sunset Grill in Edinburg to claim the $500 prize.
Proprietor Carl Ward said the two-year-old business association came
up with the idea as a way to promote the region and attract people
to the area.
