Kids tourney in Matagorda!



I had the pleasure of spending a great morning @ the Harbor in Matagorda with my Dad, my daughter and youngest son and two of my nephews. The kids were fishing the annual Jimmy Guest Memorial Kids Fishing Tournament which is put on by the Fort Bend CCA chapter. What a great event for the youngsters, it was HOT! but they didn't seem to mind. Participation is free and includes food and drinks, bait and each child leaves with some sort of door prize! There were 134 kids in this years tournament. Trophies were given to the top three anglers in three age groups, this is my nephew Taylor in the pic above, he won a second place trophy for heaviest fish in his age group (1 pound 2 ounce croaker). Way to go Taylor! The kid that beat him out of first place did it with a 40 pound black drum, wow what a fish! The group pic includes Taylor, my daughter Cassidy, my son Camden and my nephew Bryce. They all said that they want to do it again next year (imagine that!)
