The final Bud Light Trail Lake Texoma Striper Challenge Open Team Tournament of 2014 will be held on December 14th out of Highport Marina. With the size of fish being caught recently, this should be a great tournament!

Entry fee is $200 per team of 1 – 6 anglers. A minor under the age of 16 may enter the tournament as either an adult or a minor child. If they enter as an adult all Team rules apply. If they enter as a minor the entry fee will be $20 per minor contestant and the payout will be a 100% payback on a % basis to all minors who enter. One fish per minor may be weighted in. All minor children under the age of 16 must sign a waiver.

Early registration can be done by credit card online at www.usfishingtrails.com or the entry form can be printed and mailed. Late registration will begin at 5 am the morning of the tournament at Highport Marina.

The two largest stripers per team that are caught by anglers entered in the tournament will be weighed in. Stripers must be brought in on ice and will be returned to the anglers. Trailering is allowed and boats can launch from any ramp. Anglers can return to the weigh in site by water or trailer back if they desire.

Stop fishing time will be at 1 pm on the lake (bait out of the water) and anglers must be in line with fish by 2 pm at Highport Marina. Guides are welcome to participate. The guide has the choice to enter the tournament with their crew.

The Striper Challenge tournaments have no membership fees. The tournament will payout 80% of the adult entry fee collected on a one per five paid entry basis. USAFT will keep 20% to cover the expense of the tournament.

All prizes and angler results will be posted on the USA FT web site. Pay out schedules and angler prizes are determined by the number of paid entries and sponsor participation. The Prize money will be handed out at the conclusion of the weigh in and polygraph examinations.
