This year’s Blake Casbeer Kid Fish Tournament was a heartwarming and memorable event, honoring the cherished memory of Blake Casbeer. With a turnout of 32 enthusiastic young anglers, the tournament was a wonderful celebration of Blake's love for fishing and the outdoors.
The kids displayed impressive skills and determination, catching a whopping total of 153 fish (a record number of fish!). Among the notable catches were:
- Dayton Casbeer, who not only caught fish but also a turtle, adding a touch of adventure to the day.
- David Lopez, who reeled in a bass, a true highlight of the tournament.
- Diego Vargas, Henley Cochran, Mia Melendez, and Anderson Joshlon, each catching four catfish, showcasing their impressive fishing talents.
- Ben King, who showed that every contribution counts by retrieving a trash bag from the water, helping to keep the environment clean.
The success of this event wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and support of our wonderful volunteers:
- Mel Hodges
- Tim Downs
- Steve Dillon
- Yasmin Casbeer
- Clinton Casbeer
- Rickey V Casbeer
- Katherine Ramirez
- Michael A Shafer
- Rick Huffman
- Jesse De La Rosa
- Loretta Hodges
Their hard work and commitment ensured an enjoyable experience for all participants.
The Blake Casbeer Kid Fish Tournament is more than just a fishing competition; it is a community gathering that brings people together to celebrate the spirit of a beloved child. Through laughter, camaraderie, and a shared love for fishing, Blake’s memory continues to inspire and bring joy to everyone involved. Thank you to all who participated!
