2024 Garmin Lure Masters Trophy general information

The 2024 edition will stay true to our core concept of the three-lake event, featuring the same point distribution across species: 3 pikes, 5 zanders, and 8 perch to be caught. The team with the highest total combined length will be crowned the 2024 champions! Each team will fish a different body of water each day, with the order determined by a lottery during tournament registration.

How It Works

Caught fish must be photographed on a provided measuring scale and uploaded to the Lure Masters app. The app will automatically calculate the total score by selecting the biggest fish and discarding smaller ones, ensuring only your top catches count.

Who Can Join?

This event is perfect for both seasoned tournament anglers looking to showcase their skills and novice fishermen eager to learn about tournament fishing. Everyone is welcome to join, as we emphasize respect for nature, friendship, and sportsmanship as key elements of the competition.

Live Action

All the excitement will be broadcasted LIVE throughout the competition days, making it an unmissable event for participants and a thrilling spectacle for fans and families alike! Can you imagine your mother, girlfriend, or kids watching you at home as you compete in Europe’s biggest predator fishing competition? This is your chance to shine on the big stage!
