This past Saturday September 18, 2010 the Cabela’s King Kat Tournament Trail held a qualifying event on the Mississippi River at New Madrid, Missouri. These anglers were competing not only for cash and prizes, but the opportunity to qualify for the 2010 Cabela’s King Kat Classic to be held in October at a site to be announced.    

The New Madrid event has always been a big hit on the trail with many local activities planned in conjunction with the tournament filling the streets of New Madrid for the daylong event.
