It is now the largest fundraising fishing tournament in North America\, and it takes place on the Gull Lake chain of lakes each year.\n\n\n“We have people of every age and every skill level in this fun event.” Says tournament director Bernie Barringer.  “The focus is more on helping people in need\, than it is on winning.”\n\n \n\n\nThe event is made up of up to 150 two-person teams. Several divisions offer the anglers an opportunity to fish for what they like to catch\, they can enter panfish\, walleyes\, bass\, pike\, even rock bass\, into the competition.\n\n\nAnglers who enter the event raise funds among their family\, friends and business associates. There are great prizes for fundraisers including a brand new Lund Boat loaded with Humminbird and Minn Kota electronics. In 2024\, the event raised a record $620\,000.\n\n\n“Drug and alcohol addiction has derailed so many lives. When an addict is ready for help\, we at MNTC do not want to turn them away. This is what the tournament is all about\, funding the recovery and saving lives by helping people break free from the chains of addiction\,” said Barringer.\n\n\nAl Lindner\, Honorary Host of the event since the beginning\, echoes those sentiments\, “I’ve been fortunate to make my living in the fishing industry for over 50 years. There is nothing I have done that I am more proud of than the Minnesota Fishing Challenge.” He says. “It’s the largest fundraising event in the industry. All the funds go to Teen Challenge centers across Minnesota\, and we need your help to continue to grow. You need to be a part of this. I hope to see you there.”\n\n\nAnyone can fish in this event or support it. Donations are accepted through the website.
