Contest Overview


Every angler wants to hook their trophy fish. The feeling of elation that washes over you when you are reeling in the best fish you have ever caught is truly priceless. However, it is fleeting.

Fishmaster is excited to announce that we are partnering with American Fish Taxidermy in launching our inaugural Fishmaster Best Catch Contest! Starting April 1st, Fishmaster Customers will have the opportunity to submit photos of their trophy fish for a chance to win several great prizes!

Submissions will be considered through September. Each month we will choose one winner who gets their choice of a monthly prize.

Can't decide which fish is your best catch? Send them all!

We encourage you to submit as many photos of different catches as possible. Who knows, maybe the fish will be biting even better tomorrow!
