His wife Kristen handled the logistics. They called it Ride the Bull. By 2015, 733 paddlers launched into Caminada Pass — the largest kayak fishing tournament the world had ever seen. Then came the flood of 2016. COVID in 2020. And in 2021, Hurricane Ida — a Category 4(5) monster that destroyed Grand Isle and the surrounding area. After Kristen passed away from cancer, Danny handed the torch to CCA Louisiana. We continued in her honor. Grand Isle rebuilt. Bridge Side rebuilt. And Ride the Bull came back — because that's what this island does. That's what these people do. Now it's your turn. Ride the Bull 2026 returns to Grand Isle on August 28–29 for the WORLD’s LARGEST KAYAK FISHING TOURNAMENT — a one-day, all-paddle-craft, catch-and-release bull redfish rodeo where first-timers beat veterans, teenagers beat pros, and a woman on a stand up paddle board caught one of the largest fish in tournament history. ?
