224 Anglers Qualify To Win 2007 Maryland Fishing Challenge

The state of Maryland really promotes its natural resources. Check out the fishing challenge below.

While the genuine “Diamond Jim” managed to elude those fishing the Bay this summer, 224 lucky anglers from across the state caught citation-worthy fish, qualifying them for the 2007 Maryland Fishing Challenge grand prize drawings. At 10 a.m. on Saturday, September 22, Governor Martin O’Malley will announce the two lucky grand prize winners, who will take home a Toyota Tundra 4x4 pickup truck from Central Atlantic Toyota or a 591 Nitro with a 115 HP Mercury engine and a trailer donated by Bass Pro Shops and Tracker Boats.

“In addition to being fun and profitable for lucky anglers, we hope this annual celebration of recreational fishing in Maryland reminds people of the great value of our State’s natural resources, and the responsibility we all share for working toward a sustainable future for our Bay and its aquatic life,” said Governor O’Malley.
