Now that the final results are in, FLWOutdoors.com would like to congratulate everyone who took the time to participate in the latest Conseco Fishing Challenge. While no contestant was able to correctly guess the top six anglers in last week’s FLW competition and walk away with $1 million, 25 participants did manage to win over $5,500 in prizes, including an all-expenses paid fishing trip for two as well as a wide variety of merchandise from Conseco sponsors.

The awards, presented to the top 25 contestants, ranged from an all-expenses paid, guided fishing trip for two to a NASCAR Simulator Party to a one-year memberships to FLW Outdoors.
