It all started in 2005 when a small group of fisherman joined together to steer their passion for fishing to a cause that would help feed the hungry.

What culminated from this idea was the first Oregon Tuna Classic. Over the years others have recognized this cause and have joined to help create what the OTC is today. Each year the tournament has seen exponential growth. The cash contribution to the Oregon Food Bank has nearly doubled from year-to-year.

The dates for 2011 events are as follows:

Newport & Depoe Bay: July 23rd ~ Ilwaco: August 6 ~ Charleston: August 20 ~ Garibaldi: September 3rd

Get those calendars out and mark them down. They are looking forward to the biggest year ever.
