Maui County Council candidate Alan Fukuyama sponsored the 2nd Annual Big Brothers Big Sisters Fishing Contest on Saturday, June 2 at Maui Tropical Plantation.
"The event was a great success. It has grown from 19 participants to 35 participants this year. We are hoping to reach 50 next year. The Lions of Maui also held their fishing event for the sight and hearing impaired," said Fukuyama.
The grand prize went to 12 year old Kalena Kanai who caught a carp. She also won the most unusual catch and biggest catch. Although it was a contest, everyone won prizes donated by Maui Fishing Supply, Wayne Kobayashi, Christy Gusman, and Ruby's Diner.
"Teaching our keiki about the sport that I have enjoyed for many years is a passion of mine and an easy way to give back to our community. I hope more keiki will join in the fun next year."
