Bigguns for the Dunns

A charity event for Matt Dunn and Family

On November 29, 2019 Matt Dunn, his wife Jessica and their kids lost their home in Fuquay Varina, N.C. to a fire. Matt is a CKA angler, KBF member and the new KayakTournaments.com North Carolina Angler of the Year, a friend, a brother and a fellow competitor. CKA is asking the kayak community to join and help the Dunn family rebuild their lives and home after this tragic event, and we will begin helping Matt and his family by doing what we do best: catching big bass for a worthy cause.
