2009 Cabela's King Kat Fishing TOurnament

The Cabela''s King Kat fishing tournament took place on June 13 on the Monongahela River. Nearly 100 spectators were on hand to watch the exciting finish at the Morgantown event. This was the first organized catfish tournament ever held on the Monongahela River at Morgantown so there was a lot of speculation on what kind of weights these anglers would bring to the scales. Even the West Virginia DNR was on hand to evaluate the fish and were very pleased with the quality of fish anglers brought to the scales.

Anglers came from 5 different states  and were competing not only for cash and prizes, but the opportunity to qualify for the 2009 Cabela''s King Kat Classic to be held on the Pickwick/Wilson Lakes at Sheffield, Alabama.

Several hundred fish were caught in the 2 hours of the event with the winner of the event catching 70 fish in 2 hours. Not only did these children have fun, but each child was registered into a drawing for 1 of (6)-six $2,000.00 scholarships to be awarded at this year''s Cabela''s Crappie USA Classic to be held in October at Sheffield, Alabama.
