15th First Annual Catfish Tournament

2010 Catfish Tournament
Yep, you read it correctly, the 15th First Annual Tournament. For the last 15 years, Indian Lake has sponsored a catfish tournament to support local youth programs but this is the first of many years to come that Indian Lake Outfitters has participated.

The tournament ran from Noon on Thursday with the last fish being checked-in by noon on Sunday. Daily prizes were awarded for the largest catfish and over $7500 in cash was granted for the top 20 check-ins during the entire tournament. With registration only being $15, the tournament drew quite a crowd of participants.

Thursday’s daily winner weighed in at 12.76 from Mike Kerns, being topped on Friday with a 27.66 pound shovelhead caught by Levi Wyant and Saturday’s winner was Jacob Noe with 14.65 pounds. The biggest catch of the tournament taking home the $2500 1st place prize went to Levi.

We want to thank all the customers and fisherman who stopped into Indian Lake Outfitters for all your supplies. We were open 48 hours straight for the tournament and had blast talking “fish stories” with you. Thanks for “releasing your inner outdoors”!
