A total of 93 children aged 3-15 took out their fishing rods in an attempt to catch the biggest fish.

The event follows the adult competition which was held last week and Omokoroa Boat Club Vice commodore Lex Bacon says it is tradition that the children catch bigger fish than the adults.

'The kids always catch more than the adults anyway and bigger fish.”

The annual event has been running for a number of years but Lex says this year saw the biggest number of children enter for the competition.
