Some people start as sponsors… and end up family!
For the past 12 years, 'Uncle' Jerry and Brenda Copeland have been right there with us - celebrating wins, sharing laughs, and helping make Swollfest Fishing Rodeo® what it is today. Their support has meant more than we can put into words, and their presence has become part of the tradition!
We’re grateful for them, proud to call them family, and thankful for everything the Copeland's have done for Swollfest over the years!
Here at Swollfest, the kids get their own moment at the scales too! 🎣
During Rodeo weekend, our Salty Kids Children's Division takes center stage with a dedicated award ceremony just for young anglers. Big smiles, proud families, and memories they’ll be talking about long after the weekend is over!
A big thank you to Sherman & Balhoff Specialists in Orthodontics for sponsoring the Salty Kids awards and helping make this special moment possible.
Got a young fisherman or fisherwoman in the family? Get them signed up and let them be part of the action!

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the women and men who gave their lives in service to our country.
Their sacrifice is the reason we’re able to gather with family, spend time on the water, and enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted.
We remember. We honor. 🇺🇸
