Around 100 kids accompanied by their patient parents and adult family members congregated at the beach in Tupapa on Saturday for the annual Cook Islands Game Fishing Club (CIGFC) Tamariki (kids) Fishing Competition.

One hundred and twenty six kids had registered for the takiri (bamboo or stick) fishing competition.

Kids fished on the reef and near the shore with some choosing to give up their bamboo rods, to play and enjoy the seawater instead.

Nine-year-old William Aviu was chuffed with his catch of two fish.
