If you catch a fish on a boat that’s entered — stop and weigh the fish. You never know what might take a daily. Here’s a look at a couple of daily winners on Thursday.

When it comes to bringing fish to the scales, youngsters bring them in any way they can. On Thursday afternoon, 7-year-old A.J. Kenney of Ohio walked up with a red snapper in a plastic bag, instead of the usual bucket.

Kenney’s snapper weighed 2.6 pounds and was good for a rod and reel and a certificate. He was fishing aboard the party boat Swoop.

Weighmaster Bruce Cheves said he gave away about 25 rod and reels to youngsters on Wednesday and already 30 or more today.

Rodeo Executive Director Helen Donaldson said they have given away about 150 rod and reels so far, and this is only Day 11.

Every kid that enters a fish that weighs a pound gets just what Kenney received: a rod and reel and a certificate.

As of 4:30 p.m., the count of fish entries is 370. And remember that’s just the ones that make it on the leaderboard; that’s not counting all the fish the youngsters bring in and the ones that are just not big enough.

Don’t forget the scales are open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the docks behind AJ’s.
