P.E.I. fishermen compete for $1,000 in lobster trap stacking competition in Summerside
Sweat dripped down Ryan Murphy’s face as he caught his breath after winning the Journal Pioneer Lobster Trap Stacking Competition in Summerside on July 6. “The last one, I couldn’t feel my legs there. They were a little bit rubbery,” said Murphy, laughing. Altogether, only four of P.E.I.’s toughest lobster fishermen tested their strength and competed for a grand prize of $1,000. The competition has been part of the Summerside Lobster Carnival at Credit Union Place for a number of years. The fisherman had to move eight lobster traps about nine metres across the fairgrounds on a sweltering summer evening. >click to read< 11:12
