A wonderful human interest story came out of the event. One of the competitors was a young man named Tre Smith who loves to fish. He was fishing for bass the day before the event when a large fish grabbed his bait and pulled his rod into the lake, where it disappeared. Needless to say, he was heartbroken and the family didn’t know how they would replace the outfit. You guessed it; Tre won his age category in the contest and walked off with the first place prize, a brand new rod and reel! His Mom took the time to tell me that story in gratitude for the event and prize. Thank you to all who helped make the event a success.
