Two hundred twelve children participated in this year's ninth annual Kid's Fishing Derby. The overall total catch weighed in at 342.98 pounds of catfish, which is over one-third of the 1,000 pounds of catfish stocked by TWRA at Meadow Park Lake prior to Saturday's event. There was even a bream or two caught.
