The Riley's Cup brings together local student anglers of North Carolina and South Carolina to connect and compete in one of the largest tournaments of the year.

In 2022, the Riley’s Cup showcased 100 high school bass fishing teams from the North Carolina and South Carolina regions.

Each boat is filled with two student anglers competing as a team with one boat captain, often a friend, mentor, or college student.

DAY 1
The goal of this two-day event is to invest in student anglers, by creating a fun, safe, place for them to build friendships, learn about life with Jesus, and the sport of fishing from some of the top anglers in the profession.
100 high school and 35 college bass fishing teams gathered together on Friday night to get tournament details, learn about Riley’s Catch, and walk away with some top fishing gear items in hand.

This year we had professional anglers take the stage to speak into student’s lives through their own testimony while sharing their best tips and tricks for tournament fishing before the big launch the next morning.

DAY 2
Bass fishing teams from North and South Carolina competed on Lake Norman for a chance to win the 8th annual Riley's Cup. As the day progressed, teams watched the Live Leaderboard closely and competed in a fun environment.
100 high school bass fishing teams competed on Saturday and 35 collegiate teams on Sunday at Lake Norman. To start the tournament, the anglers turn their attention to the American Flag lifted high above the boat ramp by the Huntersville fire department for the national anthem. Then after a strong word of prayer, the anglers took off one by one to begin their tournament.

There are two anglers in each boat along with an adult to captain them. The goal is for the two students to work together as a team to catch the biggest five fish limit of the day. Throughout the tournament, teams entered in their fish weights in our custom Fish Tracker app and kept up with all the action on the Live Leaderboard.
