Redneck Fishing Tournament Returns This Weekend

Share

After a two-year absence, the Redneck Fishing Tournament is back in Illinois. It’s a fun name, but it plays a serious role in removing the invasive Asian carp from the Illinois River says organizer Betty DeFord.

The event was canceled in 2019 because of flooding and in 2020 because of the pandemic. The 2021 event is this Friday and Saturday in the Mason County town of Bath. There are no fishing poles in the tourney, teams instead use nets to catch the jumping fish.
