DARKO KELEČEVIĆ TRIUMPHS AT “METHOD FEEDER CUP”

The first international “Method Feeder Cup,” held at the “Tešendić” picnic area in Donja Lupljanica near Derventa, brought together 24 competitors from Republika Srpska, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia.

Mayor Igor Žunić welcomed the participants and praised the organizers for launching what he described as a beautiful new tradition.

“This is a private initiative and a great tourism story for our city, as well as for all lovers of sport fishing. I believe the City Administration will support this event next year as well. Our goal is to encourage the local community to support competitions for young anglers here and inspire them to love nature and enjoy this sport,” said Mayor Žunić.

First place went to Darko Kelečević from Laktaši, who caught an impressive 27.220 kg of fish.

Željko Rakić from Šabac took second place with 22.610 kg, while Milojko Kalaba from Prnjavor came in third with 14.570 kg. Kalaba also landed the largest individual catch of the tournament – a 5.270 kg silver carp (tolstolobik).

The lake at the “Tešendić” picnic area covers 12,000 square meters and is home to five species of fish: carp, grass carp, silver carp, catfish, and tench.
