A total of thirteen tagged redfish were caught this year, but only four are confirmed winners.  The others, unfortunately, were not registered for the CCA Texas STAR.  Last year eleven tagged redfish were caught, but only six anglers claimed prizes.

Other fish will net big rewards in the tournament.  STAR contestants who caught the largest speckled trout in the north, central and southern regions of the Texas Coast will each take home the Shoalwater 22′ Legend, powered with a Mercury 150L Pro Xs OptiMax and McClain trailer.  STAR blue water anglers who land the heaviest kingfish, dorado and ling (cobia) in the Offshore Division will each win the awesome Polaris Ranger Crew 570 EPS UVs in Polaris Pursuit Camo each with a Big Tex 35sa Trailer.  In the Inshore Division the Blue Wave’s 180 SV Southern Skiff boat, Mercury 115 OptiMax motor and McClain trailer will also be given to the anglers for netting the biggest flounder, gafftop and sheepshead.

In hopes of luring more youth to the sport of fishing, the STAR Scholarship Divisions offer a total of ten college scholarships in $20,000 and $50,000 increments.  STAR participants, ages 6-10, who caught the largest flounder, sheepshead or gafftop will each be awarded a $50,000 college scholarship.  Participants, 11-17 years of age, who caught the largest flounder, sheepshead or gafftop, as well as, the largest speckled trout in each of the three Texas Coast regions (north, central and south) will each be awarded a $20,000 college scholarship.  In addition to these nine scholarship offerings participants, ages 6-17 years old in 2014, are eligible for a bonus drawing that will net one lucky youth a $20,000 college scholarship even if the participant never wets a line or enters a single fish during the entire tournament!
