Inaugural Henlopen Classic Kids’ Fishing Derby a huge success

The inaugural Henlopen Classic Kids’ Fishing Derby was held March 26, drawing 18 young anglers who fought the weather and rain to catch 77 fish. The winners in order of finish include: Cohen Betts, Oliver Teed, Logan Cole and Lucca Wines. This was an event where the biggest fish won. “The kids brought legal keeper fish to the shop all day long as my crew cleaned and filleted them to go into the fish fryer,” said Jordan Petterson of Henlopen Bait & Tackle. “We cooked fish and hot dogs all day. Every kid was awarded a Derby shirt that only they will ever have for this event. It was simply one of the best days I've had in quite some time. I didn't choose the wrong business; the smiles today proved that!”
