The RedSnook Charity Catch and Release Fishing Tournament was born out of the need for a new source of fundraising coupled with the desire to bring a first class fishing tournament to Southwest Florida. The event drew from the idea that Collier County needed a unique and exciting philanthropic event drawing heavily from the County’s heritage as a fishing resort blessed with an abundance of natural resources. In 1993, tournament founders Dick Botthof and Tim Parry gave life to the idea that the YMCA could raise money with a fishing tournament, and they set out to create a world class event. By any measure, they succeeded in doing just that.
