The top two heaviest fish in each category won a trophy and rod and reel. all participants received a cap from Don Becker Law Office and a "goodie" bag with equipment and gear from many generous companies.

A "fishers" prayer was given by Pastor Dwight Polfuss, the teams went to their favorite lake, fished, and were in for the 2:00 pm weigh-in. There were many species and numbers of fish caught!. Wisconsin DNR Secretary Matt Frank came for the weigh-in and spoke to the big crowd and helped with the award ceremony.
