Midwest Walleye Challenge, Virtual

Join the Midwest Walleye Challenge, a virtual fishing tournament, from Sept. 28 - Oct. 31. The tournament begins at 6 a.m. ET on Sept. 28, and runs through 6 p.m. ET on Oct. 31.

This tournament offers an opportunity for anglers to win donated and cash prizes while contributing to fisheries management by providing the Indiana DNR fisheries biologists with valuable data on the state's walleye, sauger, and saugeye populations.

Participating anglers will be able to submit catches and 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. This is in addition to random prize drawings for everyone who participates.

There are two options to enter, a free option with non-cash prizes available, and a paid $25 option with biweekly cash prizes available.

Participants can view the rules and register by visiting AnglersAtlas.com/event/769 or by using the MyCatch app. During the tournament, participants will use the free MyCatch app to submit photos of their catch on a measuring device and log fishing trips.
