The second annual Cast With A Cop kicked off this morning. The program is a great way for kids to hang out with law enforcement in a positive setting.
For many kids here, it was time to catch that first fish. And local law enforcement were more than happy to help make that experience happen.
"Police officers aren't always big, bad, mean, tough guys. We're there to help you, provide services to you when you need them. This is a good way for us to get together with the kids and hang out," Officer Brady Lieuwen said.
Officers from the Sioux Falls Police Department, Highway Patrol and Game, Fish and Parks department were on hand to guide kids from The Banquet. Last year, only one fish was caught in three hours. That was not the case this time around.
Matt: How many fish do you think you're going to catch today? Denayja: Six? (Laughs)
While catching a lot of fish is fun, today was also about learning the rules of fishing.
"Fishing is a good thing but we just have to make sure that fish can live. Because fish, when people get ready to eat them, they have to give them a little bit more time to live, until they get bigger," Tyrese said.
Hopefully these relationships, formed through fishing, last into the future.
Fishing equipment was supplied by the Game, Fish, and Parks department and the bait by Dakota Angler.

Dumped fishing dhow still stuck in the sea The Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi said rotting debris from the dhow at Mina fishing port was a cause for concern to marine life and the environment. Ravindranath K / The National ABU DHABI // A 50-foot fishing dhow that sunk in the harbour at Mina Zayed more than five months ago has still not been moved. Parts of the vessel were still sticking up on Wednesday even though it had sunk further into the sea. Its bow section is still a foot above water. The dhow is close to the Abu Dhabi Fishermen Cooperative Society office, which said last month said it was unaware of the craft. The Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (Ead) said rotting debris from the dhow was a cause for concern to marine life and the environment, but it did not fall under the authority’s jurisdiction. “Ead is not in charge of port or waterway management,” said Ayesha Al Blooshi, terrestrial and marine biodiversity director at the authority. “Ead is only in charge of f...
Does live bait or chunked bait work better for catching yellowfin tuna? When targeting a trophy snook, is the action better during the incoming tide or outgoing tide? How and where can an angler catch more flounder? Every angler wants to become a more successful fisherman. But YouTube videos and fishing magazines only can lift one's game so far.
