'She caught that rock bass all by herself!'

Lydia Houck (pictured) was the Youth Winner in the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation's WomenHuntFishNY photo contest, whose winners were announced this week. After sifting through almost 4,000 photo entries, DEC staff chose 14 winners and runners-up. “Lydia was having a blast catching rock bass off a dock on Lake George this past June," says her entry. "She caught that rock bass all by herself, and we couldn't believe how big it was! It was the biggest we’d ever seen!"
