2026 CKF Angler of The Year

The 2025 CKF Angler of the Year has a couple changes!

  1. Regular Season Tournaments:

    • There will be 8 regular-season tournaments, 7 of which count towards AOY.
    • Points are awarded based on placement, with 1st place earning 100 points, 2nd place 99 points, and so on.
    • Each members 5 best tournament scores will be counted toward their season total, allowing for 2 tournaments where their lowest scores can be "dropped."
    • Only CKF member's will accrue points. Non-members can participate but their placement will not count towards points. If a non-member wins a tournament, the highest-finishing member will receive the points for 1st place, the second-highest member will receive points for 2nd place, and so forth.
    • Members and Non-members that place 1st in any tournament that have also fished 3 or more 2026 events, get an automatic invitation to the Tournament of Champions
    • Angler of the Year will be Determined by Regular Season Events
