Cenla Kayak Anglers - Catch Photo Release Challenge
What is it?
The CPR Challenge allows CKA members to fish at their leisure over most of the year, and still compete for prizes. It's simple - catch one of the target species, place it on an approved measuring board, take a photograph showing the fish, the board, and the CKA CPR 2016 Token in the photo. You then can release the fish - we encourage it - but if you keep it, there'll be no deduction. Submit the photo and a CPR form to the tournament director within 2 weeks. At the end of the Challenge, prizes will be awarded based on longest length.
