Annual PCB Fishing Rodeo kicks off at Captain Anderson's Marina

The 4th annual PCB Fishing Rodeo kicked off at Captain Anderson’s Marina in Panama City, Florida. The event’s first day included a kids’ clinic featuring a touch tank, free fishing rods and bouncy houses. Tournament fishing began at midnight, with official scales opening at 10 a.m. The rodeo offers divisions for paddle boarding, shore fishing and boats of various sizes. Registration is available online, and proceeds support the construction of artificial reefs and marine education. Volunteer Mike Sullivan said the kids’ clinic has been part of the event for five years, and that about 200 children attended despite bad weather. The final weigh-in is Sunday, the 11th, at 5 p.m., with prizes for every division and daily winners.
