On Saturday July 25th 2009, 158 young anglers competed in the 7th Annual Young Anglers Tournament held at the Shelter Island Pier on San Diego Bay. An incoming tide which crested at 12:45 and an offshore swell contributed to a day which saw a quantity of qualifying catches including halibut, calico bass and mackerel.
Anglers were invited to use their own gear or use rod & reel combos provided by Okuma Fishing Tackle. Winners were awarded in each of ten age categories based on a point system valuing the number of fish and species caught. Two anglers tied in the 7 Year Old category. Catch and release was encouraged.
6 Year Old: Anthony Salorio, San Diego
7 Year Old: Chaz Hallmark, San Diego & Ryan Rosati, Chula Vista
8 Year Old: Makenna Hruska, San Diego
9 Year Old: Thomas Orozco, Union City, CA
10 Year Old: Justin Magno, San Diego
11 Year Old: Tyler Luz, San Diego
12 Year Old: Adam Doyle, San Diego
13 Year Old: Joey Luquin, Chula Vista
14 Year Old: Darius Ngo, San Diego
15 Year Old: David Evans, El Cajon
The overall winner of the day's tournament was 14 year old Darius Ngo of San Diego, whose score was 83 points. His name will be engraved on the Young Anglers Perpetual Trophy which remains on display at the pier.
Each top angler received an embossed IGFA certificate, an IGFA Junior Angler Membership in IGFA, a rod and reel combo by OKUMA Fishing Tackle and an assortment of other prizes which included fishing trips from Pt. Loma Sportfishing's 1/2 day boat Daily Double and 3/4 day boat Point Loma, H & M Landing's ? day boat Premier and 3/4 day boat Malihini, certificates for miniature fish mounts by World Wide Fish Mounts, admission to Legoland, retail gift cards provided by Hawthorne Caterpillar, and kayak and rod rentals from Sharkey's Shelter Island Pier concession.

A free drawing delivered prizes to all participating anglers making every young angler a winner.
