KID FISH TOURNAMENT 2006

 

Bass Pro Shops and promotions manager Gayle M. Coulam sponsored the tournament this year and let us borrow 9 rods and reels. Everyone had a great time and caught some nice fish. Alex helped me this year with netting, measuring and releasing the fish. Thanks Alex, Gayle and Bass Pro Shops for making this tournament the best so far.

15 catfish and 6 blue gill were caught in the 2 hour Kid Fish this year. All were healthy and fun to catch. Since we put up the catch and release sign we have some nice fish for the kids to catch over and over. We use barb less hooks for an easy release and lost no fish this year. We will do it again in May, June, and July so everyone has a chance to catch a big fish.
