We really need to address the Triangle Tail Chasers, Ancelets Marina, Cops Helping Kids, & Captain Ryan Warhola. With out these groups and people we would not be any where near as successful as we are. Jim, Ryan Ancelet, Tony, Michael, and Ryan Warhola...thank you so much for believing in us and giving your time to help us organize and get this benefit on the road. These people have put up more than money to help, they have put in hours of time with us to help organize the event as well.

We still have title sponsors, just waiting on Logos to be emailed. If you would like to be a sponsor please message us here. Last year we raised a little over $6000 for Boys Haven, we hope to double that this year!

We are daily gathering items for door prizes and giveaways. As we get those Items in I will be saying thank you to those sponsors here and posting pictures so you guys know what to expect.

These prizes and cash payouts that you see advertised here are guaranteed thanks to our sponsors, Especially Cops Helping Kids/Tony Viator they have been a HUGE contributor the last two years and we would not be as successful raising the money we do for Boys Haven with out them.

Premier Yamaha has stepped up to the plate this year as well being a big helping hand, along with Daleys Hunt-n-Fish, and Ancelets Marina. All three places who have let us use their facility for one reason or another. You guys have been incredible.

A big thank you to Hookspit too, who has provided ALL of the first place teams prizes and more!

Looking forward to some goodies in the mail from Big Nasty Baits and Trout Support, who have also been sponsors the last two years. You are all amazing and the fact that you share our vision to give back is priceless to us!


We welcome the kayaks to come in numbers to this tournament!

Would like to show our appreciation to Darrin over at Del Papa Distributing for getting us the alcohol needed for the captains meeting! 2 Years in a row they have helped us out now. He will be at the Golden Triangle CCA banquet tonight pulling off an amazing event his self!

The door prizes have started rolling in!!! If you have never had the pleasure of viewing Big Nasty Baits up close and personal, then you will at the captains meeting! Not only will we be giving this away but Daleys has them on the shelf as well!!!

Big Nasty Baits knows that fishing is all about how you wiggle your worm ;)

Thank you guys for being a contributor for 2 years now. Love the logo!
