Indiana fisherman wraps up catfish tournament title

Daniel Lux thought he had made a mistake that would end up costing him this weekend’s Cabela’s King Kat Tournament Trail event in Selma.
Fishing tree tops on the final hole of the day, Lux didn’t notice another tree top at the back of the hole and ended up popping off two fish; two fish that could have made the difference.
Thankfully, the two fish he and his partner Lionel Davis were able to reel in proved to be two monsters, big enough to give them the pounds they needed to win the event. It also proved to be Lux’s — a competitor from Bedford, Ind. — first win on the tour.
“I love fishing, and I love winning,” Lux said. “The money won today will allow me the chance to keep fishing these tournaments for a little while longer. I was starting to wonder if I’d be able to continue.”
The winning portion of the $10,400 purse for Lux was $4,300.
The two-day event that attracted 15 teams from eight states came down to Saturday’s weight totals.
