The weekend of the Governor's Cup Walleye Tournament they put on a tournament for kids. This year was our first year entering. The guys tournament was cancelled for the day due to high winds so Landon and Casey were able to come with us. I wouldn't have been able to do it by myself with the two boys which is why this year was our first. Henry did what he does best. Hang out and snack.
Check the line.
Yep, looks good.
Carter's day started out a little slow but Dad found a better spot and Carter started reeling in the fish. Here he is showing me his first catch. They throw everything back so most kids just fill their goody bag with water and carry their fish to the weigh station.
There really is a fish in the bag.
As you can see by the hand next to the scale, these are little fish.
The crowd at the kids pond. It was pretty packed. They had 80 kids entered in the tournament with 251 fish and 3 turtles caught. Carter really was more interested in the other kids and their fish. Fishing is an everyday thing for him, so no big deal.
Carter got 6th place for his age group (5 and under) weighing .28 pounds of fish. He got to pick his prize, bypassing the toys and picking a tackle box that he gave to Henry since he already has one. Everyone got a shirt and a goody bag with fun kids stuff like whistles (yay?) and candy (double yay?). Henry caught one fish but we didn't have it weighed. After the tournament they fed the kids lunch and had different water related activities for them to do. We ate and headed home with two tired and cranky boys. Next year the rest of the kids better watch out. The Holte Boys will have another year of fishing under their belts and will be hungry for a 1, 2 finish.
