Alabama Black Belt Adventures (ABBA) recently announced its winner for the beginners division of the Best Fish Photo Contest, sponsored by Triple D Ranch in Sumter County.
Three-year-old Spur Knight won the contest after fishing at the Dallas County Public Fishing Lake with his father and seven-year-old brother, Gauge, who is the winner of a previous photo contest.
Spur's picture received close to 1,000 votes. He won a full day of fishing for two, as well as a night's lodging at Triple D Ranch.
The contest also recognized Brandon Sullivan from Tyler, who was in both the beginners and experienced angler categories. He caught a nine point, 11-ounce bass in a private Dallas County lake.
“Having a winner from both a public fishing lake and a private lake speaks to the bountiful fishing opportunities in the Black Belt,” said ABBA Director Pam Swanner.
“The many water ways and impoundments found in the Black Belt have always had great reputations as abundant fisheries and the privately managed lakes at various outfitters are well maintained for the utmost in customer satisfaction."
"We’re extremely proud to recognize both an experienced and beginner angler this year and are very grateful to Triple D Ranch’s support and partnership of the contest.”
