DALTON, GA – Lunker League USA will conduct a nationwide Angler Showdown April 26-27.
Whether fishing from a boat or from the bank of your favorite lake, river, or pond, everyone is welcome for two days of fun and friendly competition, starting at each time zone’s sunrise and ending at sunset each day. Cash prizes for both days combined will be awarded to the Top 50, with $50,000 in prize money and a first-place payout of $10,000.
“As a fisherman who has never owned a boat, I wanted to create accessibility for all anglers,” said Spencer Singleton, Lunker League USA tournament founder and director. “This is for anglers who have dreamed of fishing in a tournament. Now, everyone has a chance.”
Participants may fish in any publicly accessible body of water in the U.S., including lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks, and streams. Fishing on private property is prohibited without the explicit permission of the property owner. Participants 17 years or younger must have a parent or guardian’s signature on the waiver form. Lunker League USA welcomes anglers of all ages, ensuring an inclusive event for everyone.
Eligible fish species for the tournament are largemouth, spotted and smallmouth bass. Both artificial lures and live bait are permitted. All fish must be caught using a rod and reel. To be considered scorable, bass must measure at least 15 inches in length.
Lunker League USA will use fish length, measured in inches, as the sole scoring criterion. Participants must provide their own fish measuring board, which must be at least 28 inches long and must measure down to 1/4 of an inch. In the event of a tie, identical length fish will be ranked by the registration date and time. All photo submissions will be scored by Lunker League USA.
