This team from Fayetteville won the U.S. Open tournament in Southport
(This story has been updated because an earlier version contained an inaccuracy. The prize money awarded to the tournament's second place finisher was incorrect. Clint Piner and team Side Work won $92,885.) Cody Knight’s little brother was on the fence about fishing in this year’s U.S. Open King Mackerel Tournament . Although his brother was getting married a week later, Knight convinced him to make the trip from Fayetteville to Southport to take part. “I told him, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to say you won the U.S. Open and got married in the same week?’” Knight recalled with a chuckle. His brother reminded him of that pep talk after they accepted the trophy and red jackets at the ceremony at Rusty Hooks Dockside Grill on Oct. 3. Knight and his team Freek-A-Leek, which included his father and brothers, were named the 2026 U.S. Open King Mackerel Tournament Champions. For Knight, the victory was a journey — one started by his family decades ago. His dad began fishing in the U.S. Open around 1995, and Knight was born in 1996. From the time he was old enough to go out in a boat on the ocean, he was alongside his father.
