LEGENDS INVITATIONAL SPRING 2025
Sat, May 03, 2025 to Sun, May 04, 2025
Thanks for your support of the 3rd Legends Invitational, taking place on May 3 + 4th! Anglers can choose to fish on one or both event days. If you made a pledge, we will follow up with an invoice in the days following the event. We appreciate your support of our efforts to financially and emotionally assist women faced with a gynecological cancer in NC.
This event will be a two-person team event and will be competitor controlled. That means, partners will fish together in the same beat for two sessions and monitor another team during their two sessions.
During each fishing session, each angler will be allowed to score 4 fish. To score or not to score a fish will be made at the time of releasing the fish, so part of the strategy is determining if you should count that fish at the point of measuring it. A 9th fish for the team will be allowed to be scored (if) both anglers have scored their four fish. So again, strategy will be important! Scoring will be based purely on fish length in centimeters, with final score based on total centimeters tallied per team. We will input all caught fish into the system to help keep track of $ earned by any angler who has per fish pledges made.
The website leaderboard at the bottom of this page will showcase an accurate overall fish count and fundraising total for each angler, but the medalists for team performance as well as the individual big fish category will be posted here in text at the end of the event. So for final leaderboard purposes for this event, please use the text below which will be updated following the end of the event:)
