Celebrating the Success of 2026

Thank you to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, anglers, and donors. We proudly raised over $250,000 for Folds of Honor — providing the equivalent of 45 educational scholarships for the families of fallen and disabled service members in Lee County, Florida.

With 46 teams participating, this year’s tournament brought together a passionate community of anglers, supporters, and volunteers united by a shared mission to honor and empower military families. Throughout the event, anglers demonstrated exceptional skill and sportsmanship, successfully reeling in a total of 32 tarpon while creating unforgettable memories on the water. The tournament’s purpose was further underscored by special guest speaker Ginger Gilbert Ravella, a distinguished Folds of Honor recipient, whose inspiring presence served as a powerful reminder of the lives impacted by the organization’s mission.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our sponsors and donors for their unwavering support, and to our dedicated volunteers who made this event possible.
