About the Redbone @ Large Series
In 1988, the Redbone (REDfish and BONEfish) began as a small local tournament in Islamorada, one of the islands in the Florida Keys, to raise money to fund research and care for CF patients, including the daughter of tournament directors and founders Gary and Susan Ellis. Through the efforts of celebrities, guides, anglers and volunteers, the first event raised $16,000. In the last 22 years, the Redbone series of events has raised millions of dollars to help support the CF Foundation's mission of finding a cure for CF, a genetic disease affecting approximately 30,000 children and adults in the U.S.
