Fishin' frenzy: Young anglers participate in Kidz Fish

Rod and reels were lined up on the banks of Holland Lake Saturday morning.

It wasn't just for pleasure — youngsters came out to compete in the annual Kidz Fishing Derby, where those 15 and under competed for prizes while getting expert tips from the pros.

Ryder Strait and Stryker Sears claimed first and second places for the biggest fish caught.

In the 1-5 age group, Blake Malone won first, Barret Hutchings won second and Jordan Brown took third.

In the 6-10 age range, Waylane Gray took first, Sydney Myer second and Dustin Smith third.

Cooper Javarone won first in the 11-5 age group, Landon Dewitt took second and Wade Manning won third.

The event, hosted by the City of Weatherford, was sponsored by Tackle Depot, Film Alley, Texas Bank, TotalCare, Parker County Hospital District and Whataburger.
