As they say, good things come to those who wade! After two rain checks, the Philly Fun Fishing Fest turned out to be the perfect day to enjoy the Schuylkill Banks. So while it wasn’t raining cats and dogs, it was CATFISH crazy! The biggest caught was a Channel Catfish, measuring 24 inches. Thanks to our sponsors and partners, Philadelphia Parks and Recreation, Schuylkill River Development Corporation, PA Fish and Boat Commission, Plano and Dick’s Sporting Goods for making it a great event with fabulous prizes.
