More than 100 young anglers turned out for a Bullhead Derby put on by the Port Alberni Lions Club last weekend.
The dock by the Maritime Discovery Centre was filled with excited children on Saturday, Aug. 20 as fishers baited their lines with fish eggs, smoked bacon and weiners.
The 201-mm bullhead caught by five-year-old Walker McKnight held first place until just before weigh-in, when Marcus Newton, age 12, caught a 206-mm bullhead.
Both anglers received a keeper trophy and a tent, and will have their names engraved on the annual Bullhead Derby trophy.
