VIDEO - 2018 10th Annual YakAttack Benefit Tournament Recap Video

by YakAttack

This year on May 18th and 19th, 177 kayak anglers came to participate in the 10th Annual YakAttack Benefit Tournament. Located In central Virginia, this tournament helps to raise money for Heroes on the Water, a organization dedicated to get veterans out on the water kayak fishing, and Project Healing Waters, a program dedicated to teach our veterans fly fishing. This year the anglers had to fight against the rain that never seemed to stop, but that would not keep everyone from trying their hardest and having a good time. This tournament brings to light what the kayak fishing community is all about, the friendship, and the camaraderie. We would like to give a shoutout and a special thank you to Twin Lakes State Park for donating their facilities and everything they do to help make this event possible year after year. To our sponsors, thank you for helping making this tournament the best that it can be and we would also like to thank our volunteers behind the scenes who ensured that everything runs smoothly and efficiently.
