Little Falls, Minn., Sept. 23, 2013 - As the dust settles on another great year of Trumped fishing, we are happy to announce our four Grand Prize winners. This year's event truly came down to the wire, with three of the four winners catching their event winning fish in the contest's final period. North-to-south, east-to-west, this year's tournament spanned Canada and the United States. We hope to see it spread even farther next year.

About the contest
From May to September, Crestliner played host its third annual quest to trump other anglers' trophies on virtual leaderboards - with monthly prizes for the longest fish and three, two-week long mini-tournaments. Most varieties of walleye, pike, bass and crappie were eligible for the contest, with participants using the official "Trumped Ruler" to measure and photograph each catch before posting their photos online. On the ninth of each month, participants with the longest fish on each species' leaderboard received prizes, with over $20,000 in prizes being awarded during the competition's four-month run.
