Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are bringing it back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, we organized an online monthly series. We kept it simple \u2013 your 20 best fish and a low entry fee. But the end-of-year stakes were high: the top two finishers would qualify for the CKA Tournament of Champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We posted it, sat back and held our breath. After all, there were plenty of other on-line events to choose form (even if our format was unique).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the first week of the first event, we knew it was going to be a fun season. Sign-ups were high for and the competition remained strong throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, the race begins early \u2013 anglers can start competing on January 1st!<\/p>\n\n\n

Why Fish the On-Line Series?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, \u201c20 for 24\u201d provides additional qualifying opportunities. Maybe you can\u2019t make every regular season event, but you still want a chance to qualify for the CKA Tournament of Champions. Fishing the on-line series offers a possible path to qualification for it. In 2023, Will Lambert and Garriett Chavis each punched a ticket<\/a> to the CKA Tournament of Champions by taking the top two spots in the series standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, this year, the top three finishers will qualify for the 2025 KBF National Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, it\u2019s a great way to start learning the water bodies we fish. Fish may only be submitted from lakes and rivers on which CKA has held live tournaments (a complete list is on our website<\/a>). This also opens pre-fishing time to competition; you can submit the fish you caught in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, if you are new to kayak fishing, the 20 for 24 monthly tournament is a great way to practice Catch-Photo-Release [CPR] fishing. If you are a seasoned angler, it\u2019s a great way to get warmed up and try new gear. And if you are fishing the CKA winter series, you can cross-post fish to both leaderboards (so long as your catch is from one of the \u201c20 for..\u201d list of eligible water bodies).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to prizes and qualifying opportunities, the top three finishers receive a custom Ketch trophy at the Gate City Classic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
