One of Caleb's many roles at Lifeline is being the Sports Director and being a member of a local sports league. During the summer, the Michiana Youth Sports League puts on a fishing tournament as one activity for kids to take part in. We brought twelve kids from nine to sixteen years old, along with three very helpful volunteers! The tournament was held at Potato Creek State Park (the site of our future camping adventures in the next couple months.) The league includes Boys and Girls Clubs from the area, so we had some stiff competition. However!!! We dominated :) Overall, the group caught 104 inches of fish, the longest being a 9 1/2" fish caught by Demetrius. The second place team only caught 45 inches. It was a fun morning of fishing, baiting the hooks with worms, untangling lines, teaching kids how to cast, and pulling the hook out of a fish's mouth. Reminded me of when my dad (Mark Ainslie) taught me how to fish and had so much patience with me as I learned. Here are some pictures of the successful fishermen and fisherwomen!
