The kids participated in 2018 much to their dismay. We adults thought it would be fun for them but their fishing attention span is not much more then 30 minutes and the tournament lasted 2 hours. My nephew Ryan is the only one that registered and took fish up to be weighed as I think he enjoyed it a little...HA!
Needless to say, after a miserable day of crying and complaining Ryan ended up with two awards. They got third place for the pounds of fish caught and also got the title for the biggest fish in his age category. He won $50 gift card for the largest fish in his age group and $25 for third place in total pounds caught in his age group.
So, of course NOW ALL the kids wanted to participate since they know there is money involved....HA HA!
The family was out of town when 2019 kids tournament happened but two of the five nieces and nephews were there for 2020. So both Aly and Ryan participated this year.
Here is the recap....
They had a sign on the sign up table with our win from 2018...
It was all very distanced an Covid safe. They had sanitizer and gloves everywhere. It was held at the Lake Mohawk Marina.
Here is Ryan off his chosen dock.
And Aly trying to find a "good" spot. She walked around a lot before choosing her dock.
We love a night time campfire
I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe and healthy!
HUGS TO EVERYONE!
Have you ever entered a fish tournament? Do you like to fish? What sports do you enjoy? How are you doing today?
I went fishing once, when I was in my teens. We went to a trout farm ... the lake was stocked, so we thought we’d catch a lot of fish.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that was caught was my cousin, who somehow managed to hook her own face
Oh my word - that is horrible! I can not imagine how much that hook would hurt in your face!! OUCH!!! I would probably have quit fishing after that too!!!! Have a great day - thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love fishing, but my hubby isn't into it so we never go. My daughter likes it, too. Maybe once her kids are just a bit older we can take them.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was a beautiful weekend at the lake. I miss the days when I used to go with my bff's family when we were kids.
I am sure her kids would probably LOVE it! My nieces and nephews do. They have competitions to see who catches and releases the most! It helps them learn to appreciate nature too I think. Thanks for stopping by Stacy - have a great day!
DeleteAwww that sucks she lost her spot lol
ReplyDeleteYou can see in the picture that it ruined her WHOLE day - ha!!! Have a great day Julie!
DeleteToo bad for Aly and lesson learned! Maybe next year! Tubing always look like so much fun! I am not a fisherman but come from a fishing family. I do love fresh-water fish and know how to filet them and fry them up with some Old Bay Seasoning. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYou are way better than me Terri! I have no clue how to filet or clean or cook. We always catch and release...not sure why but we have never actually eaten them no matter how big we catch - HA! Have a great day Terri!
DeleteThey used to do a fishing derby here on Mothers day weekend. My son always enjoyed it more than my daughter. That couch looks like fun
ReplyDeleteThe kids like to couch because they can just sit and relax - you have to TRY to fall off - HA! Have a fantastic day Ann!
DeleteNo tournaments, but I have fished and do enjoy it when they are biting. I lose interest if they aren't, so always have a book or my stitching with me.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Robin! I usually bring a book but never thought of bringing stitching! Great idea! Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day!
DeleteAllergic to fish, so no fishing tournaments here. Looks like a fun time for them.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! So you can't eat fish? I would be lost! But we only catch and release! HA - Have a great day Patrick!!
