Anaheim man wins boat show contest

Kevin Hannon won a $25,000 boat at the Newport In-Water Boat Show on

Sunday. The Anaheim resident was one of 10 contestants who partook in the

Catch-A-Boat Challenge at the 29th annual boat show.

Contestants in the contest, which began May 1, were required to stand

for 24 hours a day while they held a fishing line hooked up to the boat.

The last one standing would be awarded the boat.

However, at the end of the four-day contest at noon on Sunday, four

remained standing. So at 1 p.m. Sunday, organizers held an hourlong

casting contest for accuracy to pare down the final four.

Hannon won that contest and took home the 21-foot Triumph boat. John

Hennessy of San Pedro finished second, getting $1,000; Brian Olmstead of

Santa Maria took third-place and $750; and Jared Wagner of Menifee

garnered fourth place and took home $500.
