Proud dad moment
« on: August 10, 2025, 09:10:04 PM »
My daughter and her fishing partner competed in the Washington State High School Fishing TBF Student Angler State Championship on Moses Lake over the weekend. They won the state championship with a 3 fish bag weighing 13.45 pounds. Her biggest fish weighed 5.24 pounds. What a great way to end the season. They are now qualified for the Nationals next June. Her captain for the tournament fishes for Simpson University in Redding Ca. and is a former student angler in the same Washington State league and former state champion. Pretty neat for him to come back and win state as a coach. Simpson University has been recruiting college fishermen from Washington and recently started giving out very large scholarships to get kids to come fish for them.
Old hunters never die, they just stay loaded.
