Reeling for Kids Saltwater Challenge

Reeling for Kids Saltwater Challenge Get hooked on a great cause! It’s our 21st Annual Reeling for Kids Saltwater Challenge! To do this, we need your help! I look forward to speaking to each of you.

Held on June 10th & 11th, 2022 in Steinhatchee, Florida, the event is a collaboration between NFL and Gator football stars, fishing enthusiasts and community leaders in an effort to support the youth programs of the Boys & Girls Club of Alachua County. Thanks to the generosity of friends like you, we have raised in excess of $750,000 for the Clubs over the past six years and provided once in a li

fe time opportunities for the kids at the tournament to fish and interact with their football heroes. As the popularity of this unique event continues to grow it is our hope to surpass last year’s total of over 375 fisherman, 100 boats and 400 additional tournament supporters. The success of last year’s tournament would not have been possible without the support of each of our local and national sponsors. As we begin planning for this year’s event, our excitement grows with the enthusiasm our sponsors and community members are already expressing. I believe that with your help, we can exceed last year’s goals, raise more money for the Clubs, and help touch even more young lives in the community where we grew up. We also know that without your support, this event simply would not be possible. We do not underestimate the vital role you play in the success of the tournament and we will be happy to meet with you to further discuss your role as a sponsor. Please feel free to contact our event coordinator, Emily Simmons, at 352-284-1377. Thank you in advance for your support of this worthy cause! Doug Johnson

Dear Anglers, Sponsors, and Supporters,

Thank you for your unwavering support of the *Reeling for Kids* Saltwater challenge, an event spanning over 21 years that has brought our community together to create lasting memories and support for a meaningful cause.

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to pause the tournament for the 2025 season. This one-year hiatus will allow us to reflect, plan, and ensure that future events continue to deliver the exceptional experience you’ve come to expect.

We are deeply grateful for your enthusiasm, generosity, and commitment over the years. Our team is already looking forward to reuniting with you in 2026 for an even bigger and better *Reeling for Kids* event. Make sure to have us on your radar in June of 2026 to be a part of one of the most sought after charity events in our area.

Please stay tuned for updates, and feel free to reach out with any questions or ideas for the future. Together, we’ll make the next chapter of *Reeling for Kids* unforgettable.

With gratitude,

Doug and the RFK Team

Fished the Reeling for Kids Tournament this past weekend with WWGay Construction

We fished hard for a big kingfish but had no luck.
Managed to catch a nice red grouper and amberjack to place us 3rd for grouper and 2nd for amberjack. We donated the money back to the cause!
