The 43rd annual KOWB/Y95 Country Huck Finn Fishing Derby is happening this weekend.

Children ages 13 and under are invited to Huck Finn Pond at Laramie's LaPrele Park, to enjoy a day of fishing, prizes and fun.

189 kids attended last year's Huck Finn Fishing Derby.

Approximately 560 fish were reeled in from Huck Finn Pond in 2012, as anglers competed for prizes in five different age categories. Two kids tied for biggest fish with 11.5 inch rainbows while the smallest fish reeled in measured just 6 inches.

The event is free, and begins at 11 AM this Saturday, July 20th.  Attendees can enjoy free Pepsi at the event, as well as coupons t-shirts and more.  Event founder Andy Hoeffer reminds that no fishing license is necessary to compete.
