Cassville Area Chamber of Commerce director, Morgan Williams, announced that 15-year-old Leland Samuel, of Kansas City, Missouri, caught the largest trout in the “Age 15 and Under” category. His prize weighed in at 2.80 pounds. To double its value, it was also the first fish he’s ever caught.
In the “Adult Male” category, Conner Britton, of Bourbon, Missouri, caught the prize-winner, with a trout tipping the scale at 4.69 pounds. For Britton, the catch marked a “grand slam:” a fish caught at the fourth of Missouri’s four trout parks.
No contestants presented a fish in the “Adult Female” fishing category, Williams said.
Due to delays in shipping, the Cassville Chamber was unable to pass out their advertised coffee mugs at the river on opening morning. However, they passed out vouchers which fisherman were able to redeem for a mug later in the day.
For those who are still holding onto vouchers, Williams said they may be redeemed at the chamber office at 504 Main Street in Cassville.
