The previous edition of the Maguga Dam Bass Challenge showcased the remarkable talent of young angler, 10-year-old Carter McKenzie, who made waves by securing the largest catch of the competition, weighing in at an impressive 2.93kg. Carter’s exceptional angling skills earned him a substantial prize of E15 000, in addition to various tackle, sugar and other prizes generously provided by the event’s sponsors. In the realm of competitive angling, Hopf currently leads the Back-2-Back Fish Offs with an outstanding record of 210 top four finishes and total log points. Meanwhile, Carter holds the 15th position out of 20 competitors, boasting 88 top four finishes and log points. Notably, Carter’s father, Daryl McKenzie, solidifies the top three of the Back-2-Back Fish Offs with an impressive 201 top four finishes and log points. As the stage is set for the National Championships at Maguga Dam, the EAA and angling enthusiasts eagerly anticipate a weekend filled with fierce competition, breathtaking catches, and the emergence of the next national team anglers who will carry the pride of Eswatini to international waters.
