The 2021 fish of the year winners announced

INDIANA – The 2021 fish of the year winners are now online. Check out who had the biggest fish from muskellunge to the brindled madtom.

Muskies are some of the largest fish in Indiana, and anglers usually release the muskies they catch, prizing them more for their trophy size and challenge to catch rather than their edibility. 

The Wabash River was the go-to location for big fish in 2021, yielding eight winning entries. Four winners each came from the Tippecanoe and Kankakee rivers, and the East Fork of the White River. Rivers and streams were anglers’ favorite spots accounting for 35 of the 56 awards.
