Catfish Derby is an annual fishing event held by the Fort Johnson Environmental Team in honor of Month of the Military Child and Earth Day. Before the event takes place, the venue (Catfish Cove) is stocked full of catfish, with some being tagged. Those that are caught with tags get special prizes, but select prizes are also awarded in other categories. This video was created as a promotional reminder and was posted to the Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Johnson Facebook page. Created in Adobe Premiere Pro.
