Hayden Davis and Maddox Duck has made many memories over the past couple of years as fishing partners representing Quitman High School. They have tasted much success with several top finishes in tournaments and even winning the Big Bass award at the Louisiana State championships. 

Casting their lures in lakes and rivers from as close as Caney Lake in Jackson Parish to as far away as the Upper Mississippi River Delta in Wisconsin the pair has had always had a couple of goals in mind. 

Winning a Northeast Louisiana High School Anglers (NELHSA) Tournament Trail event and then claiming the season championship.

After their performance on the Ouachita River on September 16th, one goal has been achieved and the other is off to a great start to being reached. 

On a rough river that allowed only 36 of the 54 boats entered in the season opening NELHSA event to land fish and just three to catch the limit, the QHS anglers bested them all by weighing in five fish for a total of 8.47 pounds. Waylon Sullivan and Jake Vail of representing Quitman Junior High snagged a 24th place finish

It was also a successful tourney for the two junior high teams representing Gracepoint Christian of Jonesboro as Brody Halbrook / Brendan Newton came in 13th overall and Jaxon Daniels / Gunner Garrett came in 32nd place. Lane Diffey and Remington Gregory led the Weston High School contention with a 22nd place finish
