National Hunting and Fishing Day is coming up on Saturday, September 26th.

National Hunting and Fishing Day is coming up on Saturday, September 26th. So, what better way to join the nation-wide celebration than by awarding yourself with a special awesome angler name for the day? That's right, you can actually give yourself a super cool National Hunting and Fishing Day moniker using the fun formula found below.

Here's how the awesome angler name game works

To get your awesome angler first and middle names, find your birth month in the first list. For example, if you were born in January your first and middle name would be "Swift Cast."

Next, to get your awesome angler last name, find your state of residence in the second list and then read off the name of the waterway next to it. For example, if you live in Florida, your awesome angler last name would be Okeechobee (taken from Lake Okeechobee).
