FGCU Fishing Invitational - Fallen Eagle

04/21/2026

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to all of our incredible sponsors, volunteers, and participants who made this year’s tournament such a success 🙌

Your time, effort, and support made everything possible from start to finish. Because of you, we were able to raise over $18,000 — including $16,110 for the Jesse M. Woodyard Foundation Scholarship.

This event is about more than just fishing — it’s about honoring Jesse’s legacy and supporting students through education.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who played a part in making this happen. Already looking forward to making next year even bigger and better 🎣
