With beautiful sunshiny weather and calm waters, we held our 2nd annual Grace Presbyterian Fishing Derby today! We had a marvelous turnout, with a record number of kids catching fish! We are so grateful to everyone who came out to make it such a fun event.
Of the exciting sights were Angie Applekamp catching more fish than in her whole lifetime, a couple of kids falling in the water, the Clines perfecting their catch and release, Kris catching fish out of a bucket!, a few lures lost in the weeds, and chips and grilled hotdogs for everyone!
The Grand Champion this year was Cameron Schultz for 1st place with the winning crappie, and in a close 2nd was Bruce Reimer, and daughter Abby netting the most fish. Additionally, Micah Flunker came in 1st for the shore fisherman, with 3rd place overall for a 9.3/4″ largemouth bass.
Great big special thanks to Bob and CJ Kennard and the Channing Bait Shop for their generosity in preparing snacks and drinks for everyone as well as donating all the bait and many rods and reels for the challengers to use! Bob also deserves an extra special hand for helping to take countless fish off the hook for our little ones (and some big ones too)!!
Congratulations to everyone!
