MOREHEAD CITY – Richard Montana, chairman and founder of charity organization Reelin’ for Research, watched $1 million come in from the organization’s 15th annual fishing tournament for cancer research this past weekend at Jack’s Waterfront Grill and Bar in Morehead City.

Every year since 2009, along Jack’s Waterfront, Reelin’ for Research, one of the biggest charity organizations along the East Coast, holds a one-day offshore and inshore fishing tournament, where all proceeds and annual funds go toward North Carolina’s Children’s Hospital for Pediatric and Cancer research. The group has been able to raise more than $6.2 million over the last 15 years.

Montana grew up fishing in Greensboro with his dad, uncle and college buddies and would hold fishing tournaments for fun for him and his friends during the summers.
