Cabela's offering $2 million in fishing competition

Cabela's Incorporated has announced the participating waters for Wanna Go Fishing for Millions, a contest giving anglers a shot at up to $2 million in cash and more than $225,000 in additional prizes by catching tagged fish in select lakes across the United States - including some in Idaho and Washington.

One of the tagged fish could be worth up to $1 million. The grand prize will be doubled up to $2 million if the grand prize winner is a current user of the Cabela's Fish Recon app or downloaded the Cabela's Fish Recon app to their smartphone, sponsored by Geico.
