DNR to Release More Tagged Fish in Western Maryland as Part of the Maryland $1,000,000 Fishing Challenge

TOURNAMENT DETAILS:
The 2^nd Annual Maryland $1,000,000 Fishing Challenge: The Return of Diamond Jim is a 13-week tournament which ends September 4. The closing ceremony is Saturday, September 16 at 10:30 a.m., City Dock in Annapolis. All anglers who catch qualifying tagged fish will be entered in a drawing at the closing ceremony for five grand prizes.

The five grand prizes are:

	A chance at $1 million cash, sponsored by Boater’s World,
	A 20-foot center console Sailfish 206CC motorboat and trailer sponsored by Boater’s World,
	An 18-foot, 7-inch Tracker Nitro 591 motorboat and trailer sponsored by Bass Pro Shops, and
	Two 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 pick-up trucks sponsored by Toyota Maryland.

In a nostalgic flashback to the 1950s, the Fishing Challenge also features “The Return of Diamond Jim.” Each week throughout the 13-week tournament, a striped bass marked with a special yellow tag will be released. The lucky angler who catches that week’s Diamond Jim will win an instant $25,000. The first person to catch a winning Diamond Jim will also win a pair of one-half karat (0.50) diamond earrings courtesy of Zachary’s Jewelers in Annapolis.
