His longtime adversary Kaiden Mades made a run at it, but he came away with the most trout caught in two hours at seven. Runners up included Evan Sylvia with a 13” catch, and Brody Sylvester with a 13” as well.
For the girls, Arianna Barlow hit it big with two trout the largest being 12 ¾”. Right behind her Abigail Sylvester, Ebony Carly and Julia Ando pulling in a few beauties.
