We promise to reel in plenty of excitement! Prizes and trophies will be awarded for the largest fish in three different age categories: 5-8; 9-12; and 13-15. We will provide one free container of nightcrawlers. Even if the fish aren’t biting, everyone goes home a winner because each participant receives a giveaway and sweet treats!
