The Sport Fishing Championship league, known for bringing together NFL stars and offshore anglers, is gearing up for its second annual The Catch Weekend in Ft. Lauderdale on April 18-20. What sets this year's event apart is the inclusion of some of the biggest names in music, making it a three-day celebration that appeals to fans of all types.
Kicking off the festivities on the renowned Catch stage on April 19 is Klingande, the French multi-platinum DJ and producer known for his signature melodic house sound. Joining him is the dance music duo Loud Luxury, famous for their chart-topping hit 'Body' which garnered multi-Platinum certification in nine countries and amassed over 1.5 billion streams. And to top it off, the seven-time Grammy-winning hip-hop legend Big Boi, both a solo artist and part of the iconic duo OutKast, will be taking the stage as well. Platinum Passes for the event are now available for purchase.
Interestingly, Big Boi's passion for fishing rivals his love for music. In fact, he confesses, 'I'm more excited to go fishing than perform! It's my favorite thing to do in the world.' Having been offshore fishing since the age of two, Big Boi makes it a point to indulge in this pastime whenever he travels, especially when exploring deep waters abroad. He hopes that his involvement with the SFC will introduce fishing to a whole new and unexpected audience.
And Big Boi isn't the only entertainer who shares a deep appreciation for fishing and the SFC. Country music star Clayton Anderson, whose hit song about fishing has been dubbed the fishing song of the year for two consecutive years by Hook and Barrel magazine, also champions the SFC and its unique atmosphere. 'I love the SFC because it's a scene, it's a party,' Anderson exclaims. He particularly enjoys the camaraderie that takes place on the docks after a day of fishing, where competitors, NFL stars, and fans come together to celebrate and have a good time. The event provides a platform for fans to interact with their favorite NFL players in a relaxed setting, something rarely seen in other events.
For those who want to get in on the fishing action, The Catch Pro-Am offers amateur anglers and football fans an incredible opportunity. The Pro-Am VIP Package allows you to form a team of four, fishing alongside an NFL player. Additionally, the package includes two nights of party access, special concert hospitality and viewing access, watch-party tickets, as well as a two-night stay in luxurious five-star accommodations.
The SFC's The Catch Weekend promises to be a one-of-a-kind experience that unites the worlds of sports, music, and fishing. Whether you're a die-hard NFL fan, an avid angler, or simply someone looking for a unique and exciting event to attend, this celebration has something for everyone. Don't miss out on the chance to witness stellar musical performances, rub shoulders with NFL stars, and indulge in some thrilling fishing adventures.
