INDIANA – Indiana anglers are invited to participate in the 2024 Midwest Walleye Challenge, a virtual fishing tournament that offers the opportunity to win prizes and contribute to fisheries management by providing Indiana DNR fisheries biologists valuable data on the state’s walleye, sauger, and saugeye populations.
The tournament runs from March 30 to June 30.
Anglers will be able to submit both their catches and their time on the water for multiple categories, including a “Tough Luck” category for those who log fishing trips but don’t catch anything, a “Most Waterbodies Fished” category for those who log trips from multiple rivers, lakes, and streams, and a standard “Longest Fish” category, in addition to random prize drawings for everyone who takes part.
Participants will use the free mobile app MyCatch, to submit photos of their catch on a measuring device so length and species can be determined. Once the image is reviewed and the catch is confirmed, it will appear on a live leaderboard so anglers can see their current ranking in the tournament.
View the rules, register for the tournament, and join the fun.
