Skillful Angler Program Leader Board 2022
|
The tables below list the current leaders in the main categories of
the categories for both freshwater and saltwater fish. The list will
be updated regularly as heavier/larger fish are certified in the program.
(The Division and Slam categories will not be included on this page.)
For minimum qualifying weights and lengths for all species, application
information and lists of past winners are found on the Skillful Angler Program
page. The Division of Fish and Wildlife encourages all anglers
to keep the program in mind when fishing, but more importantly, encourages
everyone to get outdoors and enjoy some of the great fishing our state
has to offer.
