Hosted by CAST — Conservation Angling Sustainability Trust, the Invitational is an all-species pod-format competition built around conservation-focused angling and team performance.

The Format (What Makes It Unique)

This is not an individual angler event.
This is a pod tournament.

 5 Pods

The 40 teams are divided into 5 pods

That means 8 teams per pod

Each team consists of 2 anglers

Total anglers competing: 80

Pod Structure

Each pod contains one Top 5 team from the previous year

These seeded teams are strategically placed across pods.

The goal is not just to win as a team of 2 - it’s to claim the trophy as a pod.
