<p>Joseph Thomas, of Olcott, was the winner this past weekend of the Cicero-Mattydale Lions Club Walleye Derby on Oneida Lake, according to Carol Frey, tournament director.</p>

<p>Thomas won the $1,000 first prize by turning in a 26-inch walleye that he caught on a Berkeley Powerbait Shad on Scriba Creek.</p>

<p>Tournament officials did have a picture of Thomas, but I've been told he has a picture. I plan to interview him later this morning and hopefully I'll be able to secure the photo and hopefully can post it before noon today.</p>

<p>I also expect to list the top 25 anglers as well. The tournament had a total of 1,923 entrants this year. Stay tuned!<br /></p>
