In a celebration of Father’s Day weekend, the Albert Lea Anglers Father’s Day Tournament took place from June 14 to June 16. Anglers cast their lines in pursuit of northern pike and bluegills at the event. Participants had the opportunity to team up with an adult family member or guardian, whose catches contributed to their joint tally. Among the standout anglers was Shelby Page, who reeled in three impressive northern pike, measuring a combined total of 89.25 inches. Not to be outdone, Emma Mortenson secured the top spot with a stringer of five bluegills that measured a cumulative 43.25 inches. Pictured above is Shelby Page. Provided

The Albert Lea Anglers Father’s Day Tournament not only honored fishing proficiency but also the joy of bonding through the shared passion for angling among families and friends. Pictured here is Emma Mortenson. Provided
