Decatur, AL (April 30, 2025) – The 14th Annual SeaArk Boats Owners Tournament, held in Decatur, Alabama, was an overwhelming success, breaking records across the board. With over 150 boats participating, the event featured intense competition and camaraderie among SeaArk owners and anglers. In total, over 10,000 lbs of catfish were weighed in, including an impressive 36 boats that each weighed in over 100 lbs each despite the 5-fish limit rule.
The SeaArk Owners Tournament has become one of the most anticipated events in the cat fishing community, bringing together SeaArk enthusiasts from all over the country for a weekend of friendly competition and community bonding. This year’s tournament was no exception, with SeaArk owners showcasing their skills and love for the brand.
Steve Henderson, President of SeaArk Boats, shared his thoughts on the event: “The SeaArk Owners Tournament is more than just a competition – it’s a celebration of our #SeaArkLife and #SeaArkFamily. It’s important for us to give back to the people who’ve supported us and helped build SeaArk into the brand it is today. Seeing so many SeaArk owners come together is a reminder of how much we’ve grown, and how much we continue to grow, thanks to the loyalty and passion of our customers.”
The tournament not only demonstrated the strength of the SeaArk community but also highlighted the incredible fishing talent of the participants. Jon Ed Rowe, Marketing Director of SeaArk Boats, commented, “Events like these really drive home the love and connection we have with our #SeaArkFamily. Watching our customers participate, compete, and enjoy a great day on the water is what makes these events so special. It’s a reminder of why we do what we do – to provide the best boats for the people who love fishing and the outdoors as much as we do. We’re thrilled by the turnout and the success of this year’s tournament, and we can’t wait to make next year even bigger and better.”
Alex Nagy, Twisted Cat Outdoors Tournament Manager and SeaArk Boats Special Projects Manager, added, “The level of competition this year was unreal. Over 150 boats and 10,000 lbs of catfish is no small feat. We love seeing the anglers every year, and the passion for SeaArk boats and catfishing continues to grow. This is a testament to the quality of the boats and the dedication of our SeaArk family. We’re excited to continue building this event and making it an even bigger success in the future.”
