2020 Contest Announcement

Here it is! The 2020 season is underway and our field is just about finalized! So here is the info for the 2020 contest. For the first time since 2013 Bass has been selected as the primary species. Bass includes largemouth and smallmouth bass. White bass are not included. Crappie has been selected for the secondary species.

As in previous years the winners will be the longest measured fish. The mouth can be closed and tail pinched. Click here for the full rules.

If you have friends that are still interested in participating this year we can still accommodate them. Please keep in mind the spirit of the contest. We want prospective participants to commit to the contest before knowing the species. We would like to have continual participation and not people cherry picking a particular species.

Also, please check out the Big Fish of the Year Facebook group. I'm not sure I know how to link to the exact group but if you go to Facebook.com/groups and search for "Big Fish of the Year" you should be able to find it. I'm pretty bad about posting on social media but I'm going to try to use that group more this year and I want to encourage you all to join as well.

That's it for now, good luck this season!

2019 Winners! 2020 Contest is open!

Congratulations to the 2019 Winners!

The 2019 is a wrap and we are on to 2020. But first lets congratulate our big fish of the year from 2019. Congrats to Bryan for catching a nice 40" Muskie and John on the trophy 29.25" Walleye. Both fish were caught on the same trip to Mille Lacs. I was told there were some real nice Smallmouth caught as well. Sounds like an awesome trip.

I also want to shout out a big thanks to everyone for participating. I hope you all will join use for another season. 2020 will be the 10th season of the contest. You can check out the history of the contest HERE.

We have selected the primary and secondary species. Once you get signed up on the Fish Donkey app I will let you know the species for 2020. As always we ask for your commitment to the contest before  knowing the species. If you want to invite friends we ask the same from them. We try to avoid ringers who are only interested in one species.

Good luck this season!
