Friendly fishing competition in the spirit of integration
The weather was favorable for the participants of the integrated fishing afternoon on Wednesday afternoon. They gathered in bright sunshine on the shore of the Boating Lake: several people greeted each other as familiar pairs, but new competitors also arrived. The integrated fishing afternoon was held for the sixth time in cooperation with the Vas County ÉFOÉSZ Association and the Vas County Association of Sport Fishing Associations.
Each of the 14 teams had an experienced angler working with two disabled competitors. This time, participation was truly the most important thing, not winning, but the best teams were rewarded with a trophy and a shopping voucher.
On behalf of the anglers , Executive Chairman Norbert Puskás welcomed the participants and explained the rules. He emphasized that the main goal is for everyone to have a good time and learn about fishing.
The organizers even provided snacks during the competition. Klára Németh, president of ÉFOÉSZ, said that it was a popular and highly anticipated program among young people, which, incidentally, serves a noble purpose.
As befits a real fishing competition, the program began with a bagpipe and ended with a weighing. In the beautiful autumn weather, the anglers mainly caught bream and bream, but the team of István Fördős, Réka Molnár and András Frank also successfully caught a nice carp. During the two-hour competition, they caught a total of 1720 grams with the MOHOSZ tip rod provided by the Association.
The second place went to the team of Edina Bozzay and Kristóf Mártonfi, who started with sport angler Attila Vámos , who mainly caught small fish, with a catch of 1140 grams. The bronze medal of the friendly competition was won by Zsolt Viszket and Tímea Mészáros, who started with competition angler Roland Balázs, with a total catch of 1060 grams.
The announcement of the results was full of exciting moments, where each team could proudly receive their awards and recognitions. The special feature of the competition was that Gábor Miklós Horváth celebrated his 40th birthday that day. The organizers and the participants wished him a happy birthday together, and then Norbert Puskás, representing the Association, presented him with a beginner's fishing equipment and a "Vasi vízeken" package before the announcement of the results.
The top three teams in particular stood out for their achievements in the competition, but all participants were commended for their cooperation and togetherness. The organizers hope that this tradition will continue and that even more communities can benefit from the joyful experience of fishing. In keeping with the traditions of previous years, the program ended with a group photo.
