🎣🏆 Congratulations to the winners of the Auburn chapter of the Optimists Club Fishing Tournament held at Optimist Lake on Sunday, May 21st! It was a beautiful day for fishing!🌟
🐟 In the 3-7 year olds category, we had some impressive catches. Taking home first place with a whopping six fish at 35.5 inches was Trea Johnson, while Lily Parrish secured a solid second place with five fish at a length of 26.5 inches. Well done, little anglers! 🎉
🐠 Moving on to the 8-11 year olds category, the competition was fierce, and the fish were biting. Emerging as the champion, Alexa Vrtiska reeled in an incredible EIGHT fish measuring 41.5 inches, earning them the well-deserved first-place title. Not far behind, Trevor Parrish secured second place with a series of six fish measuring 34.5 inches. Amazing job, young anglers! 👏
🐡 Last but not least, in the 12-15 year olds category, the participants showcased their angling skills. Clinching the first-place victory with two fish measuring 11.5 inches was Taelyn Crawford. And Sophie Falk secured second place with an impressive 5.5-inch fish. You all demonstrated great talent and determination! 🎊
