Data shows time in nature\, to be healing for those struggling with PTSD. PGF is thrilled to host this tournament and provide Veterans the opportunity to connect with fishing professionals and other Veterans while enjoying the natural beauty of Chickamauga Lake. \n\n\n\n“Last year I was in a dark space in life and I reached out to Lucas Lewis the founder of PGF and he invited me out to a work day with other vets. That day was pretty special. Working with other vets was calming and just a great experience to be back with military family. I found a purpose in life again. Fishing has always brought calmness to me…Getting out on the water and nature is a natural calming. I spoke to Lucas Lewis\, Founder and President of PGF\, about having a fishing tournament for Veterans as an added program to PGF and he gave his blessings and Fishing with a Veteran Tournament was born.” – Gary\, Tournament Organizer \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\nWhen: November 1\, 2025 \nLaunch: First safe light \nWeigh-In: 1530 \nLocation: Chester Frost Park Boat Ramp \nDetails: \n\nEach Veteran and boater team will have a 5 fish limit.\n\nBoater registration fee is $100.\nVeteran fishes for FREE!\nIf the boater is a Veteran\, the boater is still responsible for the registration fee.\n\n\nPrizes will be awarded for 1st\, 2nd and 3rd Place at weigh-in.
