Save This PagePanama City, FL-- Some area children aren't going home hungry after Saturday's annual Kid's Fishing Workshop.
Children learned fishing techniques like casting and baiting at the Life Management Center's Peace Pond. They got to test their skills with catfish, among 200 participants.
The largest catch of the day won a fishing package including a new rod and camping gear, but winning wasn't the only reason residents enjoyed the event.
"Because it's fun," said Shineice Johnson while fishing with her father Ron.
"this is a time that mothers and fathers can get together with their children," said Ron, "and enjoy their day."
The workshop was made possible primarily by the Panama City Department of Leisure Services in conjunction with several other sponsors. Their loaner program provides fishing rods and other equipment for outdoor fun.
