SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, TEXAS – Fishing’s Future, a national organization aimed at getting more families outdoors, is proud to announce the national launch of the 2015 Catch-Photo-Release contest for youth anglers.

Contest requirements are simple. All a young angler has to do is catch a fish, photograph it, release it, and write an essay, in 200 words or less, about their angling experience. The photo and mini-essay must be submitted to the Fishing’s Future Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/fishingsfuture) before August 31, 2015 to be eligible to win great prizes. The contest is not species-specific and all youth 16 and younger may participate. Winners will be notified via e-mail and announced on Facebook.

The grand prize winner will receive a week-long vacation for a family of four at Schlitterbahn Waterpark and Resort on South Padre Island, Texas, including a Black Dragon Pirate Ship cruise, guided shark fishing excursion, and more. Airfare, hotel and activity expenses will be covered, not including food and drink.

The second place winner will receive a 2015 Tracker Topper 1436 Jon boat and trailer courtesy of the Tracker Marine Group.

The third place winner will receive a Humminbird Helix SI GPS and Old Town Vapor 12 kayak with paddle and personal flotation device.

And each week four random winners will be drawn to receive rod/reel and tackle prize packages.
