Fishing Invitational

FGCU Fishing Invitational

The Fallen Eagle Redfish Classic was created to honor the memory of Jesse Woodyard, an FGCU student who passed away in 2014. After many years of success, the Florida Gulf Coast University Alumni Association will now be hosting the annual fishing tournament, the FGCU Fishing Invitational, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Jesse M. Woodyard Scholarship.

Each angler will receive a tournament shirt, giveaway bag, attend the Captain's Party and Awards Banquet, and one ruler per team. First place team takes home $3,000!
Additional tournament shirts will be available for purchase at the Awards Banquet.
