| Great catch! |
During the end of May every year for the last 14 years, a
little lake becomes a place of greatness. Mantle Lake in Presque Isle, Maine and the local Elk's Club provide the opportunity for children of all ages to participate in a kids only
fishing derby, complete with giveaways and prizes. Not to mention food, ice
cream and more.

| Registration line! |
 |
Donated Cabela's fishing rods and
Plano tackle boxes. |
This year the turnout was outstanding with 280 kids
registered. The event also creates an opportunity for underprivileged children to
be introduced to fishing and helps inexperienced parents and guardians teach their children about outdoor sports. It opens the door for knowledgeable,
contributing, participants to teach both parent and child about conservation, respect and education
in sustainable management.

OMM Outfitters has been the sponsoring guiding company for the last two years. The
first year Cabela’s donated 30 fishing rods. This year Cabela’s repeated the donation and Plano contributed tons of tackle boxes for the proud children!

OMM’s finest pro staff members, Kenny
Mayo and Jonathan Varnum were on hand helping out. The weather was good the
fishing was great and the kids were having fun. We were blessed to have been
able to be a part of such a rewarding event.
