Early Times today announced the winner of its Reel in a Million contest.
Michael Skidmore of Chicago, Ill. was chosen randomly from among more than 10,000-plus entries. The 49-year-old will travel to Buffalo, N.Y. and Lake Erie on September 25 with pro Kevin Wirth. If Skidmore or Wirth catches one or more of the 25 tagged fish released into Erie, he'll cash in on prizes. One of the tagged bass pays $1 million. Other potential prizes include a Triton boat, gift cards and assorted fishing gear.
Skidmore and Wirth will launch Saturday morning, Sept. 25, at approximately 8:00 a.m. from NFTA Boat Harbor on Lake Erie. They'll have 8 hours total on the lake to catch a tagged bass.
