Nice Catch, Brooke!

Brooke Cooper, 6 years old caught a white perch on July 26, 2019 in the mouth of the Wicomico and Potomac Rivers. The fish measured 13.5 inches and weighed 1.33lb.

Brooke caught the fish completely on her own. She baited the hook, cast the line, set the hook and fought the fish. This was a special time for her.

Brooke received a FishMaryland certificate for this catch. Congratulations!
