BALTIMORE COUNTY, Md. (WJZ) -- A Baltimore County man is getting some attention for his skills on the water.

He was given the state's first-ever Fish Maryland Master Angler Award.

Gary Simpson caught a total of 10 different species, including a carp.

The State Natural Resources Department says he won the award because of his talent and determination.

The department launched the Fish Maryland Challenge back in February as a way for people to explore and enjoy year-round recreational fishing.
