     Karl Swanson, 8, of Homer, AK, shows off his 18 lb 4 oz King Salmon that won him first place in the Saltwater Division of the 2001 Fujifilm “Big Fish” Contest.  The contest, held in conjunction with the Kids All-American Fishing Derby program, won Swanson a $500 U.S. Savings Bond.  Swanson, a fourth grader, caught his fish on salmon eggs.
     

    Young Clint Logue's scaled down stock car was the grand prize for winning
    the national Frito-Lay/Pepsi Kids Casting Contest. He participated in a
    local casting contest in Decatur, Tex. organized by the U.S. Forest
    Service. The national winner's name was picked in a drawing of more than
    100,000 entries.

    When her name was drawn, Kacie Julian won the Southwest Airlines "I Caught
    a Fish" Contest. The nine-year-old caught her fish at a derby organized by
    the Student Fisheries Association of Tennessee Technological University in
    Cookeville. She won vouchers for four free round-trip flights on Southwest
    Airlines. 

    Blake Hochhalter, 11, of Jamestown, N.D., caught a 10-lb., 14-oz. northern
    pike to win the Freshwater Division of the Fujifilm "Big Fish" Contest. He
    caught the big northern on a "Husky Jerk" lure at a fishing derby hosted by
    the Dakota Anglers in Jamestown, N.D. 

    Karl Swanson, 8, of Homer, Alaska, caught an 18-lb., 4-oz., king salmon to
    win the Saltwater Division of the Fujifilm "Big Fish" Contest. He caught
    the chinook in a derby organized by the Anchor Point Chamber of Commerce.
    Hochhalter and Swanson will each be awarded $500 U.S. Savings Bonds and
    special gift boxes of Fujifilm products. 

    The national Fujifilm, Frito-Lay/Pepsi and Southwest Airlines contests are
    special events wrapped into more than 700 Kids All-American Fishing Derbies
    held around the country every year with the help of local volunteers.
    Hooked on Fishing International (HOFI) announced recently it is conducting
    a national search for volunteer adult groups, and public or private
    organizations, that want to do something special for young people. In
    previous years hosting organizations have included state fish and game
    departments, the U.S. Forest Service, parks and recreation departments,
    chambers of commerce, YMCAs, fishing clubs, scouting groups, and civic and
    service organizations such as the Optimists, Lions, Kiwanis, and Elks.

    Qualified organizations can order a kit that includes everything they need
    to put on a local fishing derby, even prizes. Organizations can request an
    application or additional information on the HOFI web site, www.kids-fishing.com., or request an application by emailing
    info@kids-fishing.com or by writing Hooked On Fishing International, P O
    Box 660, Ketchum, OK 74349. Requests must be received before December 15,
    2001 for hosting a derby in 2002.

    The 2002 season of the Kids All-American Fishing Derby will mark the
    sixteenth year that Hooked on Fishing International has sanctioned the
    celebrated youth program with the support of America's top companies, led
    by title sponsor Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Sponsoring brands include Pepsi,
