Fishers of Men

The Fishers of Men National Tournament Trail is a nonprofit, nondenominational ministry whose mission is to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to fishermen and their families through competitive, family-friendly fishing tournaments.

The Minnesota Division consists of professionally-run fishing tournaments on one Saturday a  month for five months, with meetings on Friday evenings.  At the Friday meeting, anglers are treated to a meal, tournament details, and door prizes.  But most importantly, they hear a Gospel message and are offered the opportunity to accept Jesus into their lives.

All of our tournaments are team events, with each team consisting of two members.  Membership is open to anyone regardless of religion, gender, age, or race.  For information about our youth/adult division, see "Legacy” below.

FOM Legacy

The Fishers of Men National Tournament Trail recently introduced the Legacy Series—competitive fishing for the next generation, presented by Shakespeare.  In 2007, the Legacy Series will consist of 33 divisions in 21 states, featuring exclusive adult/junior competition.

For the first time this year, Minnesota has a Legacy division.  Each Legacy division conducts two tournaments scheduled during the prime time of fishing in their respective areas.  Here, the top 1/3 of the field will earn a check based on their cumulative team weight.  There will also be two “Big Fish” awards at each event.  Teams will strive to earn an invitation to the Legacy Series National Championship.  The top ten teams in each division (or 50% of the average participation of the division) will qualify for the first ever Legacy Series National Championship, presented by Strike King.

Each Legacy divisional tournament will be preceded by the popular Friday night pre-tournament meeting where anglers and their families will receive a free meal, hear an inspirational message, and have the opportunity to win valuable door prizes.

Entry fees for the Legacy events are $75 per tournament, making them affordable for the budget-minded family.  To participate, a team must consist of one angler who has reached his/her 19th birthday before September 10^th, 2007 and one angler who has not reached his/her birthday before September 10^th, 2007.  Membership for Legacy participants is $25 per team, which covers the adult and any junior member.  (For members who join and participate in our team series, this membership is included in the team membership.)  Legacy members will receive a pair of Fishers of Men Legacy patches and FOM Legacy decals and be eligible to participate in any Legacy event anywhere in the country.
