Weighing in for the Morgan City Open Fishing Rodeo

By 2 p.m. Saturday, teams were lining up at Municipal Auditorium for the Morgan City Open Fishing Rodeo weigh-in. The 12th annual event drew teams from across the region, casting for the best catch in five categories. The event is also a fundraiser that has resulted in more than $200,000 for donations to Nicholls State, South Louisiana Community College and other charitable causes. The contestants reported challenging conditions because of high and murky water. But the every weigh-ins nevertheless included some hefty catfish and redfish.
