The Sportsman Division is the most popular of the Derby's rodeo – a simple, free, no-entry-fee contest where anglers catch catfish on a rod and reel and weigh-in at official National Catfish Derby Weigh-In sites, Tennessee River Museum, Savannah, TN 731-925-8181 or official Catfish Derby weigh-in site The OUTPOST 2175 Hwy 128 Pickwick Dam, Tennessee, 1-731-925-6990. If the fish you weigh in is the largest of the week, you win the weekly prize of $100.00. Fishermen may enter as many fish as they like each week at official weigh-in sites. The Angler sporting the biggest fish at the end of the five-week fishing rodeo will be awarded a Abu Garcia Prize Package all awarded at the World Championship of Catfishing Tournament July 8, 2017 and you must be present to win.

This spectacular event just does not include fishing, but great family oriented fun for all on July 7-8.
