About the Ike Foundation Celebrity Tournament
Tournament History
The annual Ike’s Celebrity Pro-Am Benefit Dinner & Tournament began in 2016 with bass anglers competing for a BassCat Margay top prize. In 2017, a Hobie kayak division was added, with a trip to Hobie Worlds as a top prize. The bass boat division offers anglers the opportunity to join up with some friends and fish against the pros, or they can choose to be paired with random pros. In the past, our bass boat division has featured pros such as Kevin VanDam, John Crews, Ish Monroe, Chris & Trait Zaldain, Jordan Lee, Cliff Crochet and more! Each year the tournament is held on the Delaware River (or selected portions, in the case of the Kayak division).
