CKA at the 2019 Kayak Bass Fishing National Championship

North Carolina anglers have represented CKA in all 4 KBF National Championship tournaments. Fields have expanded, lakes have changed and competition has intensified as our sport has grown.

CKA 2018 Trophy Presentation

To win a CKA tournament is no small feat, and to win one of the year round prizes or events is even harder – the competition is fierce, the season is long and the pressure is high. CKA anglers have gone on to national prominence in the sport and it all begins with a record of sustained dominance in competition within our series.
