About Us
The Fishers of Men National Tournament Trail is a nonprofit, nondenominational ministry whose mission is:
To introduce Jesus to fishermen and their families and to invite them
into a relationship with Him, through bass fishing tournaments.
We, at Fishers of Men, believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the
Living God. We believe that he came and died on a cross for the
remission of our sins and rose again on the third day. And that anyone
who believes in Him and accepts Him as their personal savior, can have
eternal life in Heaven as well as a life more abundant while here in
this life.
Hundreds of people have made first time decisions to follow Jesus and
hundreds more have renewed their commitments to Him at our meetings.
What began in 1998 as a small four division tournament trail with a
total of 21 events through the first season has now grown into one of
the largest fishing tournament organizations in the country. During the
2012 season, 44 team tournament divisions and 34 legacy divisions
combined for over 300 tournament events.
A divisional tournament event consists of a professionally ran fishing
tournament on Saturday preceded by a meeting on Friday evening. At the
Friday meeting, anglers are treated to a meal, tournament details, and
door prizes. But most importantly they will hear a gospel message and
offered the opportunity to accept Jesus into their life.
All of our tournaments are team events, with each team consisting of
two members. Legacy division teams are also two person teams. However, a
legacy team is made up of one member who is 19 or older, and one member
who is under 19.
Membership is open to anyone without regard to religion, gender, age, or race.
