The Bobby Hollo-way Jr. Memorial fishing tournament took place Saturday at Pineland Marina.

“We have a total of 57 teams and 18 boats with Lil Bobbers,” volunteer Jennifer Glass said. “I think that’s more than we’ve ever had before.”

This year, the tournament offered cash prizes for the combined weight of one snook, one redfish and one trout, as well as the Edison Big Snook Award for a separate cash prize of $2,500. Teams also had the chance to take home up to $3,750 in winnings, making this the largest payout the tournament has ever offered.
