Fishing For Freedom

This year’s Fishing for Freedom Tournament is back on, according to event organizers.

The government shut down has canceled the annual Fishing For Freedom Bass Tournament on lake Belton.  That’s the big tournament that pairs up a professional angler with a Purple Heart recipient, wounded warrior, active-duty soldier, or retired service member.

The closures at Lake Belton and Stillhouse Hollow Lake due to the partial shutdown of the federal government may result in the cancellation of the Fishing for Freedom tournament, one of the most popular events in the region.
