It was another successful fishing competition, with great weather on Saturday (although not so great on Sunday...). Entries were down from last year with 46 people signed up but twice the number of fish caught per person with 90 fish weighed in over the 2 days. Fish were of a good size and condition for the time of year, with the largest fish caught being above the historical average. It was fantastic to see the high number of Juniors entering the competition with them making up one third of all entries.
Prize winners were as follows:
Heaviest Fish Overall - Chase Lees (2.49 kg)
Heaviest Fish Junior - Luca Batenburg (1.76 kg)
Heaviest Fish Ladies - Aroha Royal (1.18 kg)
Biggest Bag - Eben Herbert (11 fish)
Best Condition Factor Junior - Alex Ironmonger (47.71)
Biggest Bag Family - Nebula/Bowyer (6 fish)
Biggest Bag Team - Team Herbert (22 fish)
Biggest Bag Junior - Keita Te Moni (4 fish)
