I like the idea, and the action of the catch. However there are a couple flaws that I am sure will cost you dearly in your score. First of all - a lot of sensor dust! While unfortunately basic editing does not allow for clean up of this, cleaning your sensor before the shot can prevent it. A simple test shot at a clear blue sky every day or two can be beneficial as to when you need to clean. Next, the image looks like the focus was quite a bit off, and you tried to recover it by sharpening. there is only so much sharpening can do though - thus the halo effect around the fisherman. The composition is strong, and the action of the rod I like. I hope my comment is found to be helpful to you.
Good luck in future challenges.

Nice shot - a real shame you can't clean the sensor dust out with basic editing. You may wish to clean your sensor before the next basic challenge

the backdrop is too wrinkled and the light at top too harsh

I really feel there is too much foreground here. Had this been a non-silhouette type shot with a lot od detail in the foreground that would be fine. But with this being a silhouette image - which I find meets the challenge well, the dark foreground just creates a lot of empty space. Aside from cropping off the bottom, I would suggest straightening the horizon also.
On the plus side, the colors in the sky and water are wonderful. The placement of your subject is also nice being off centered.
