About the Yakoff Awards
The YakOff Awards were created to provide an opportunity for the
kayak fishing community to engage socially, learn from one another, ask
questions, give answers and ideas so we can MacGyver our boats to best
suit our needs and enhance that precious time on the water.
An NCAA bracket-style tournament—the inaugural YakOffs pits
professional kayak anglers against one another en route to becoming the
YakOff Champion! Plus, the winner earns:
• A spotlight in Kayak Angler’s 2025 Summer Print Issue
• A branded spotlight page on kayakanglermag.com
• The YakOff Trophy and bragging rights
• $2,500.00 USD cash prize!
Through stories, pictures, videos, interviews and engagement, audience
will vote weekly on who moves forward in the competition and is crowned the inaugural YakOff Champion! The winner of each weekly matchup will be announced here on the following Monday at noon EST.
Follow along on our socials, vote weekly and watch for ways to earn extra
entries for a chance to win a decked-out, motorized kayak of your own
valued at over $3,400!
