NAFC's popular Outstanding Catch Contest gives anglers a chance to show off their best catches, and win fantastic prizes in the process. The NAFC is letting YOU vote between the 10 finalists to determine who wins each month. Consider it the American Idol of fishing. But there's a twist: Each month, one voter is selected at random to win the same prizes as the Outstanding Catch winner. What a deal, huh?  

Here are the winners so far:
