The Simon Family JCC hosted its annual Catch and Release Fishing Derby on Sunday, May 5. Nearly 100 anglers of all ages tried their luck at the pond, which was stocked with bass, catfish, and bluegill.
The largest catch of the day, according to Tom Edwards, athletics director at the Simon Family JCC, weighed 2 lbs. 14 oz. Nine prizes were earned throughout the afternoon for the biggest catch in a variety of age groups. Prizes included fishing rods, reels, and tackle boxes.
“The weather was great, and people of all ages participated,” says Edwards. “It was a lot of fun!”
