About 

The NECHES RIVER LIFE BIG CATFISH TOURNAMENT is the hottest tournament on the water right now! The boundary covers over a 100 river miles of the most pristine and difficult fishing in Texas over 5 counties! Participants come from all over East Texas and beyond to try their hand at catching the winning catfish and be crowned the champ! 

Our first tournament we had 50 3-person teams, our second tournament we grew to 100 teams, last year's tournament we bumped the 150 mark! That was close to 450 participants, men, women and children and it was estimated several thousand came to the weigh in at 58 Junction!

This tournament isn’t just about big catfish, but family, friends, and good times! The primary goal has and always will be about the fellowship of family and friends coming together and making memories that will last a lifetime.
