The La Résidence Family Fishing Tournament
Cast your line in the heart of Tennessee. A weekend of friendly competition, lakeside memories, and family bonding — August 16–17, 2025.
Rods, Reels & Real Memories
This isn't your average catch-and-release. La Résidence is proud to host our inaugural Family Fishing Tournament on the pristine waters of East Tennessee. Whether your kids are baiting their first hook or your grandpa has been telling fish stories for decades, this two-day event is built for every skill level. Enjoy guided instruction, shore-side cookouts, live music, and — of course — the thrill of landing the big one. Registration is open to families of all sizes, and every participant goes home with something worth keeping.
Tournament Categories
Three ways to win — because fishing greatness comes in many forms.
Biggest Catch
Land the heaviest single fish across both tournament days. Largemouth bass, smallmouth, catfish, crappie, and walleye all qualify. Weigh-ins happen at the main dock each evening.
Most Fish (Family Total)
Every legal catch by every family member counts toward your team total. Strategy matters — spread out across the lake or fish together. Your call, your family, your plan.
Junior Angler Award
Kids 12 and under compete for their own title. Biggest catch wins bragging rights, a custom rod, and a trophy that'll sit on the mantle for years to come.
