Emory Marks caught the most fish in the 3 to 5 age division, Destiny Love caught the most in ages 6 to 8, Makenna Allen in 9 to 11 and Labar Daniel in the 12 to 15 age group.
The smallest fish of the day was three inches and it was caught by Inani Hickman. Jarvis Bush, Brixon Mason, Elle Murphy and Scyler Stubbs also won their respective age groups in the smallest fish contests.
In the casting competition the winners in their age divisions were Tim Brown, Lydia Davis, Taria Turner and Sophia McGee. The fast-reeling competition awards were presented to Shaquwone McKnight, Cameron Mitchell, Jeremy White and T.J. Blanton.
It was the 22nd annual Take Kids Fishing event and hundreds of children and their families gathered around the lake on the Jeffers Bend property, or lined Little River.
