MOUNT VERNON – The Knox County Park District is offering a new chance for youth anglers to compete at the upcoming tournament at Ariel-Foundation Park.

According to a KCPD press release, the Aug. 28 competition (8 a.m. to noon) is one of two remaining this summer.

Anglers compete through an online app called Fish Donkey, downloaded to a mobile device. This software will keep track of each angler's success as he or she catches the fish, identifies the species and measures its length.

Contestants must upload a picture of the fish and the angler holding it. They can keep aware of their scores and rankings via a live leaderboard available through the app.

Here are the rules:

• You must fish on a Knox County body of water..
• If it's on public lands, the angler must have a fishing license (16 and older)
• Fish must be in one of these species categories: bluegill, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, catfish, carp and any other fish.
• You must measure the fish length, so a required measuring device is essential.
• Each fish caught will be recorded on the leaderboard.

The Kokosing Valley Jr. Anglers Youth Club will loan out rods for the competition. Two kinds of bait are acceptable: live or artificial.

Ariel-Foundation Park sponsors the tournament prizes and awards each winner with a $25 gift card. A grand prize drawing will be held at the conclusion of the series for any youth who participated in these events. $50 gift cards will be awarded whether entries landed a fish or not if their name is drawn.
