tagged fish were caught &#8211; but organisers are happy with the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 284 fish were caught over the two days of the competition by 262 competitors.<\/p>\n<p>Eighty-nine fish were weighed in at the first session; 106 fish in the second session; and 88 in the third session.<\/p>\n<p>Most were Yellowbellies (172) but there were also some Bass (71) and Jewfish (40) caught, along with a single Silver Perch.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest single catch was a 3.225kg Yellowbelly, which was landed by Murgon fisherman Craig Taylor.<\/p>\n<p>The winning competitors this year were:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seniors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yellowbelly: Craig Taylor from Murgon &#8211; 3.255kg<\/li>\n<li>Bass: David Wykes from Yengarie &#8211; 1.165kg<\/li>\n<li>Silver Perch: Kevin Stubbings from Ballina &#8211; 1.27kg<\/li>\n<li>Jew Fish: Andrew Campbell from Springfield Lakes &#8211; 1.79kg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Juniors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yellowbelly: Lucas Townsend from Dalby &#8211; 2.755kg<\/li>\n<li>Bass: Lucas Townsend &#8211; 0.795kg<\/li>\n<li>Jew Fish: Daryll Bridges &#8211; 1.295kg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No juniors weighed in any Silver Perch, so the prize for this section went into a lucky draw which was won by a junior.<\/p>\n<p>Leo Geraghty, from the Murgon Business and Development Association, this week congratulated the Association and its many helpers &#8211; including the Goomeri Lions and the Barambah soccer club, who provided on-site catering over the weekend &#8211; for their efforts in mounting the event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve had reports from several local shopkeepers that they had quite a good weekend because of the Family Fishing Classic,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<figure
