2024 Results
In our fifth year, we are thrilled to announce that we have officially become a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are looking forward to expanding our programming in the coming years to encourage more education about our waters and promote fishing in our community. Our tournament has always been about families making memories, keeping traditions alive, and starting new ones, all while enjoying being on the water and appreciating our natural resources. This year, we saw an impressive growth in the fish species, with more large fish logged than ever before!
This event is truly special because of the environment created by our participants, fostering fun, community, and positive vibes on the water. We always welcome feedback to refine, tune, and improve the experience. So, bring out your friends and keep the competition going strong!
