Phins Apparel will host the Inaugural Phins Fishing Classic (PFC) in eight Southern states and will benefit over 240 United Ways. The goal of this tournament is to raise funds and awareness for United Way, as well as connect anglers to their local United Way chapter. The net proceeds will be divided between the United Ways based on how many anglers participate in each community. Locally, the United Way of Southwest Alabama (UWSWA) will benefit from the anglers fishing in Choctaw, Clarke, Mobile, and Washington Counties. The tournament kicks off on April 9 and continues through May 1, 2022.
The PFC is a catch-photo-release tournament powered by the Fishing Chaos application. Anglers will submit photos of their fish for professional judging via the Fishing Chaos App & Reel Tournament Management. PFC guarantees $10,000 in prizes packages.
Anglers may participate across Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas in six categories of salt and fresh water categories. They include Black Bass, Crappie, Freshwater Catfish, Redfish, Snook, and Speckled Trout. High School aged anglers are encouraged to participate in PFC because there is a special High School Black Bass category and is NSR Reporting Qualifier tournament.
