CKA established the Tournament of Champions in 2016 to provide an end-of-season event for the top anglers on our trail. Fun and prizes are the event’s focus. Denny Romero won that inaugural 1-day event on the Yadkin River and Melvin Yang won last year\u2019s expanded 2-day event at Lake Norman (for a short history, click here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event (October 13 & 14) will again expand and improve the tournament. First, it will be a best 10 fish event (5\/5 over two days). Second, it will be held on a lake the CKA has not fished this season (we will announce the lake at the Gate City Classic). Third, the field will expand slightly: in addition to the top 25, winners of individual events, the AOY and ROY will qualify (we also awarded a spot to the winner of the Bass event at the Boonedox Yadkin Slam).<\/p>\n

 Finally, a new expanded range of prizes have been organized. It includes:<\/p>\n

$1,000 guaranteed for 1st<\/sup> place<\/strong><\/h2>\n

An additional $1,000 in cash prizes spread out over the field (days 1 & 2)*<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Free overnight camping accommodations for the top 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sponsor product giveaways<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Custom engraved trophy, designed by artist Ross Myer (FL) at Bass Trophies<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

& more!<\/strong><\/p>\n
