As per the Manitoba Angler's Guide, total fish length is measured from the most anterior part of the head to the most posterior part of the tail laid flat (i.e. not pinched). The total length of the fish will be measured to the longest centimeter. (i.e. A fish measuring 25.0 cm to 25.9 cm will be recorded as 25.0 cm.)

6. Prize Award Procedure:

Winners may pick up their prizes from the time of announcement until 4:30 pm on the day of the derby. Participants, excluding Spectators, do not have to catch a fish to be eligible for the random prize draws and do not need to be present to collect prizes. Costs incurred in prize delivery will be the responsibility of the winner.
b) The cash prizes will be awarded based on pre-determined randomly selected hidden lengths and times of fish angled in the event, independent of species. The random lengths and associated times are determined prior to the start of the event and are kept in a sealed envelope until the end of the Derby.
c) Winning entries for the hidden length and time category will be based on the following priority: length then time. The Director of Fish Measuring and the Derby General Manager (or their designate) will review all fish lengths and times to determine the winners of the hidden length and time. In the event of more than one winner, in both length and time, the prize will be divided equally amongst all winners.
d) Each first and second hole ticket is eligible for one prize only (the prize with the higher value) in the hidden length and time category. A "Second Hole Ticket" not only doubles your chances to catch a fish but also qualifies you to win two prizes if you catch more than one fish.
e) Hidden length and time winners will be calculated immediately after the event and will be announced at a pre-designated location in Lac du Bonnet as soon as possible (normally 1-1½ hours) after the end of angling. The location will be posted on the Derby website ldbice.ca .
f) New in 2026 - Anglers who caught a fish but did not win in the random length and time category (Category 4a) – Five prizes as determined by a random draw of a list generated of anglers who recorded a fish caught on the Fish Measurer’s Record Sheets and were not winners in the hidden length and time category.
i. Anglers who caught a fish but did not win in the random length and time category winners will be calculated immediately after the event and will be announced at a pre-designated location in Lac du Bonnet as soon as possible (normally 1-1½ hours) after the end of angling. The location will be posted on the Derby website ldbice.ca.
ii. Prizes will be awarded based on pre-determined randomly selected slot numbers on the Fish Measurers record sheets, independent of fish species. The random slot numbers are determined prior to the start of the event and are kept in a sealed envelope until the end of the Derby. In the event that a random slot number identifies a blank slot number (no fish recorded in that slot), the next slot number in the random draw will be used until winners of all 5 prizes are determined.

iv. Winners in this category remain eligible to win in Longest Fish Caught and Last Fish Caught categories.
g) The longest fish will be determined by length regardless of species, with the exception of Lake Sturgeon as per Rule 1c. In the event of a tie in length, the fish caught first will be determined the winner. If a tie still exists, cards will be cut by the Director of Fish Measuring to determine the winner (aces high/high card wins).
h) Prizes will be based on a minimum of 850 first hole tickets sold (Adult and Youth). Derby Officials reserve the right to reduce prizes on a percentage basis should less than 850 first hole tickets be sold.
