The Sewanee Sportsman’s House held its second annual Youth Fishing Rodeo recently at Running Knob Hollow Lake. The fun-filled event included 25 children in grades 1–5, competing in these categories: most fish, the biggest fish and the smallest fish. Trophies were awarded at weigh-in. Almost all the young anglers caught multiple bass and blue gill.
At noon, a hot dog lunch and a trophy ceremony capped off a beautiful day of fishing. In the 1st and 2nd grade age group, Hunter Weaver won the award for biggest fish, Macey Green won the award for smallest fish, and Eliza Jacobs won the award for most fish. In the 3rd–5th grade group, Alex Waldrop won the biggest fish award, and David Dolack won both the most fish and the smallest fish awards.
“This is an exciting event for the Sportsman’s House,” said Clayton Dickson. “We look forward to hosting it again next year because we think it’s important to share our love for the outdoors with the next generation.” Grey York put on the event and was aided by Henry Clark and Dickson. Others in the House helped behind the scenes as well, Dickson said. “We would like to give a special thank-you to all the parents who helped to keep the lines tangle-free and the hooks baited,” he said.
