WEEKLY WALL OF FAME

Aug. 14, 2025

Welcome to this week's installment of the Weekly Wall of Fame! The Department has been getting so many submissions for the Weekly Fishing and Stocking Report that it's impossible to fit all of them in – but we wanted to give everyone who submits a photo a chance to show off their catch! From now on, the Weekly Fishing and Stocking Report will feature one photo from each region as that region's Catch of the Week. All other photos can be found here in the Weekly Wall of Fame, which will be updated each Thursday afternoon after the Fishing and Stocking Report is released. You'll be able to find the link on the Fishing and Stocking Report page on the Department's website. Please note that only submissions with photos included will be considered for inclusion in the Catch of the Week or Weekly Wall of Fame.
