🔥 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT — CATCH THE FEVER 🔥

Kings of the James simply would not be what it is without the support of Catch The Fever.

As our headline sponsor, Catch The Fever has gone above and beyond to help us make this event happen. From helping with our plaques and banners, to donating gear, supporting our anglers, and answering the call whenever we need something, their support of KOJ has been incredible.

It means a lot to have a company that is so heavily invested in the catfishing community standing behind what we’re building here on the James River.

When you support the companies that support our sport, please remember Catch The Fever.

Thank you for continuing to believe in Kings of the James and helping us make this event bigger and better every year!

🎣🎁 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT — Fishbites

We’ve got another company jumping on board for Kings of the James this year, and they’re making sure our anglers get some goodies!

Fishbites is supporting KOJ with a variety of merchandise and products for our anglers, adding even more to what we’re able to give back to the people fishing this event.

That’s exactly the kind of support that makes a difference. Every product, giveaway and piece of gear contributed by our sponsors helps us put more back into the tournament and the anglers who make KOJ possible.

We’re excited to welcome Fishbites to the Kings of the James family and greatly appreciate them stepping up to support the event!

Make sure we return that support and show some love to the companies investing in our sport. 👑🎣

🎥🔊 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT — Code 3 AV

This partnership goes a little deeper than a logo on a banner.

Code3AV has supported Kings of the James while also helping employ, educate and develop members of the crew behind KOJ.

The skills and experience gained through Code3AV have directly helped us continue improving what we’re capable of producing at our events — from AV and production knowledge to the technical side of putting everything together.

And beyond that, Code3AV continues to support the events and endeavors that our crew pours so much time into.

We’re incredibly appreciative of a company that doesn’t just support the event, but supports the people behind it.

Thank you Code3AV for continuing to stand behind Kings of the James!

👕🔥 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT — 4REEL Fishing

Kings of the James is going to be looking GOOD again this year!

4Reel Fishing is back as our official apparel manufacturer, producing the KOJ shirts and hoodies you’ve already seen us showing off.

They absolutely knocked it out of the park with this year’s gear, and we’re excited to have them representing the Kings of the James brand again.

Event apparel becomes part of the history of KOJ. Years later, you pull an old tournament hoodie out of the closet and immediately remember that year’s event — and we appreciate having 4Reel help us create that.

Thank you 4Reel Fishing for another great year of supporting Kings of the James!

🚤 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT —Lake of the Woods Marine & Service Plaza

We’re excited to have Lake of the Woods Marine & Service Plaza supporting Kings of the James this year — and they’re bringing something with them!

They’ll be on site at KOJ with boats on display, giving anglers and spectators a chance to check them out in person.

So if you’ve been thinking about a new boat — or you’re one of those people who says you’re “just looking” before somehow ending up pricing one out 😂 — make sure you stop by and see them while you’re at the event.

We’re extremely thankful for their support of Kings of the James and for joining us on site this year.

Come check out the boats and show some love to a company supporting our anglers and our event!

🎥 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT — Boitnott Visual Communications, Corporation

If you’re watching Kings of the James from home, BVC — Boitnott Visual Communications is helping make that possible.

BVC continues to support KOJ by helping us provide the professional production equipment we need to improve the quality of our livestream and event production.

We’ve continued pushing ourselves to make the KOJ experience better not only for the anglers standing at the scales, but also for everyone following along online — and having access to the right production equipment makes a tremendous difference.

Thank you BVC for supporting our vision and helping us show everyone what Kings of the James is all about!

🎣 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT — Team Keatts Fishing

These guys have been with us from the beginning.

Team Keatts / TK Fishing has supported Kings of the James through the years and continues to step up for our event and the catfishing community.

Beyond supporting KOJ, they continue producing great tackle and gear built for the anglers who actually put it to work on the water.

Long-term supporters like this are a huge part of why we’ve been able to keep growing this event. We don’t forget the people and companies who believed in what we were doing early on.

Thank you TK Fishing for continuing to stand behind Kings of the James!

👑 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT — Henrico Sports & Entertainment Authority

Some partnerships have been part of Kings of the James almost from the beginning.

Since 2020, the Henrico Sports & Entertainment Authority has worked alongside us with venue support and the on-site resources necessary to bring this event to Central Virginia.

Putting on an event like KOJ takes a lot more than what everyone sees at weigh-in. Having a local partner willing to work with us behind the scenes year after year has played a huge role in allowing us to continue growing Kings of the James right here on the James River.

We sincerely appreciate their continued partnership and everything they do to help us welcome anglers and families to Henrico!
