MOULTRIE – The Moultrie-Colquitt County Parks and Recreation Authority’s annual fishing rodeo drew 78 youngsters on Saturday to the Magnolia Pond.
Near-perfect weather helped contribute to the large turnout for the event, which has been co-sponsored by Larry’s Bait and Tackle for 29 years.
Kudos also go to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources for stocking the pond.
The winners are:
5-and-under age group: Boys, Beau Brown, 17 1/4-inch fish. Girls, Evelyn Mitchell, 14 1/2.
6-8 age group: Boys, Wyatt Massaro, 15 3/4 inch. Girls, Molly Lewis, 15 1/2.

13-15 age group: Boys, Noah Tolliver, 15 3/4-inch. Girls, Harley Mitchell, 16 1/2-inch.
The Magnolia Pond is now open for public fishing.
