• Master Angler Awards
2013 marks the 40th ‘birthday’ of Michigan’s highly successful Master Angler Program. Launched in 1973 to better recognize anglers who catch unusually large fish, the Master Angler Program began with just 19 species of fish eligible to win distinctive Master Angler shoulder patches. In 1992, the catch and release category was established. Today, more than a quarter-century later, the program has expanded to include 52 various species for which anglers may compete for honors.• 2013 Master Angler Application
The deadline for submitting an entry is January 10, 2014. Be sure to include a photo of your fish if it has not already been identified by a DNR fisheries biologist.
