An area youngster teamed up with former champions of the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship to win this year Canada Safeway Kids Pro tournament.

Damon Nyberg, fishing with 2001 champs, Kent and Steve Ballan, combined for almost 12 pounds of fish in yesterday's event.



"We caught a pretty big one," says Damon. "Our awesome netter (Kent Ballan), one of the fish spit out the lure, as soon as he netted, spit out the lure, but he quickly got it. That was awesome."



A total of 30 kids took part.
