About the Event

Welcome to the North American Fishing Challenge

Adult & Teen Challenge centers across the US and Canada have come together to create an international app-based fishing tournament to benefit Adult & Teen Challenge programs with this fifth annual event.  Fashioned after a very successful fishing tournament in Minnesota, the North American Fishing Challenge will be held on June 14, 2025, and anglers across the U.S. and Canada can fish in their local fishing hole and designate which center will benefit from their fundraising.  Six divisions will be included in the tournament: walleye, bass, pike/muskie, trout/salmon, panfish (bluegills, crappies, perch, rock bass, and other sunfish) and catfish. Tournament species division will be chosen by the angler when registering.

Tournament Director, Daniel Emond, knows that catching fish during a tournament is important, but he also knows that those who participate in the North American Fishing Challenge are not just interested in fish.  They want to save lives of those who are facing alcohol and drug addictions through the highly-ranked services of Adult & Teen Challenge.  Through sponsorships and donations from businesses and individuals, this tournament has the potential to raise more than $300,000 this fifth year!

Thousands of dollars in prizes will be awarded, and a special fundraising prize of a fully outfitted Lund boat will be awarded to one team!

All ages and skill levels of anglers from across the U.S. and Canada are welcome!
