Arkansas Anglers Take Home Prizes for Tagged Fish

LITTLE ROCK - Three lucky anglers are winners of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's Family and Community Fishing Program tagged catfish campaign. Thousands of channel catfish from the AGFC's warm-water hatchery facilities were stocked at several locations around the state.

Sunday Johnny of North Little Rock won the grand prize of an Old Town Canoe, life jackets and paddles. Neil Vining of Sherwood and Jennifer Matthews of Little Rock each won a rod and reel packages.

Each of Arkansas's Family and Community Fishing Program catfish stocking locations had 10 catfish tagged with special Family and Community tags. Every angler that caught a tagged fish received prizes. Winners also were entered into the grand prize drawings.
