Ryan Casey, of Arnold, Missouri, displays his 40-plus-pound catfish caught Saturday, Sept. 14, 2019, at the inaugural Alton Catfish Classic that drew 200 teams of anglers and large crowds of spectators, helping to fuel a 5.6 percent increase in tourism receipts in Madison County for 2019. The 200-team field of fishermen for this year's tournament planned Sept. 12 was filled in July - but coronavirus concerns forced organizers to cancel the event.
