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 

  2. CKF Championship:

    • The CKF Championship is a qualification-only event.
    • Members with 400 points and more will be invited
    • 1st place finishers throughout the season who competed in 3 or more tournaments are invited.

  3. Awards:

    • The winner of the CKF Championship will receive a Championship Belt and a Prize Package.
    • The CKF Angler of the Year, determined by the regular-season, will receive a trophy and a prize package.
