Five hundred 6-12 year old children and staff participated in the annual fishing competition at Flensborg harbor last week. Two of the best catches and the owner of the largest catch of the day received a trophy and a brand new fishing rod as rewards. The competition has long become a tradition here in Hafnarfjörður.
Last Thursday, around five hundred 6-12 year old children from Hafnarfjörður and staff participated in the annual fishing competition at Flensborg Harbor. A total of around 40 fish were caught. Some were released immediately while others were recorded.
There was a much greater catch this year than in previous years, as the weather was perfect for fishing, overcast. The competition has been held for over 30 years at the harbor in Hafnarfjörður.
Three received a trophy and a fishing rod as a reward. The largest fish caught that day was a 351gr. cod. Óliver Leó caught the fish and received a fishing rod and trophy for it. Reynir Máni and Nikulás Högni, who were part of the Flensborg Harbor fishing competition this year, also received prizes. They each caught 6 fish.
Cod, marhoun, and plaice were among the species caught this year. No awards were given for unusual fish, as none stood out as such this year.
Indeed, it was a wonderful day. The children screamed with joy, and Hafnarfjörður´s residents know how fun this is. The tradition has become so old that one could assume a second generation of fishermen is now taking part!
Nikulás and Óliver.
