REEL Heroes

REEL Heroes REEL Heroes Inc is a volunteer Chapter of Purple Heart Homes a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Changing the lives of Veterans one home at a time through the outdoors!
(3)

We host Kayak Bass Fishing Tournaments, raise money for our veterans, and take them fishing. REEL Heroes was founded in 2023 with a simple goal in mind; raising money for veterans through kayak fishing. In the summer of 2024 REEL Heroes hosted their first tournament fishing event and raised over 44 thousand dollars in cash donations for our veterans, and over 100k in tangible donations from suppor

ting businesses. All money raised was donated to Purple Heart Homes who assists veterans with housing assistance, and much more. With the rapid growth of the REEL Heroes event, the organization soon became a “chapter” of Purple Heart Homes, but remains a stand alone 501(c)(3) with their own board of directors (Jon House, Fenway & Wes). The main REEL Heroes Fishing Tournament is on Lake Norman NC. (Normally the weekend following the 4th of July) As REEL Heroes continues to grow, the organization is beginning to offer events in other states across the US in an effort to raise money for our veterans. REEL Heroes has also teamed up with other trails including Tennessee & Georgia B.A.S.S Nation Kayak Series, and BASS Champs. The REEL Heroes directors are also “Pro Staff Anglers” for Purple Heart Homes. Outside of the tournament fishing events, Jon, Fenway & Wes find veterans and take them fishing. Veterans often struggle when returning home. Being on the water can sometimes “cut off the noise” and help our veterans remember what is most important. If you would like to know more, donate, or get involved, follow the links/info below. Thanks to everyone for your continued support, and helping us make a difference in the lives of our veterans.

We are running it back with Hotshots Sports Bar and Grill - Mooresville, NC in 2026! Grateful for Kellen for his support. Even if you can’t make the event, I would encourage you to check out the sports bar. Their wings are fantastic and that new sauce is 💯 

A little unique twist this year, though. Typically we do not have food offered at the weigh-in but thanks to our amazing sponsor Thomas & Weber  we will be offering a pizza, wing, and salad buffet style. You will have a choice of water or tea provided. If you want additional items or adult beverages, they are on your dime. 

Lastly, yes, we have the audio handled for this year. 🎤  🔈🔥
