2025 Youth Tournament Results

Here are the results of yesterday's WMWC Youth Tournament. We had 26 boats carrying 56 kids enter the event which ran from 8 to noon. Fishing was bit tough, but many fish were brough to the scale. There were five categories and kids were able to enter one fish in each category. Each child was excited to weigh their catch as their turn at the scale came up. Following the weigh in all in attendance were treated to a walking taco lunch prepared by some of the members wives. (I know some of the names but not all so as not to slight anyone I won't list any. Maybe someone who knows the names can recognize them in the comments below.) After the eating trophies were handed out and the raffle for prizes was held. Liam Gunnink won the Grand Prize driver's training instruction donated by Buckle in driving Academy. Derrick Nykamp won the Polar Bear cooler raffled off to one of the boat captains. The pictures are of the largest tournament fish, the trophy winners and the entire group of kids. Thanks to all who attended. Special thanks to Jack Payne, Rick Friske, Derek Nykamp, Craig Tipton, and Bryan Buist for their work in organizing the event. I am looking for pictures of the event to post on the club's web page. If anyone has any of any type, I would appreciate you posting them below, so I am able collect and post on the club's site.
