Categories and Payouts
$18,000 in cash prizes will be paid out to winners in the following categories of fishing.
Big Fish
The Big Fish Grand Prize in the amount of $5,000 will be awarded to the angler who weighs the heaviest fish. This is a stand-alone category and the winning fish will not be eligible for other categories. Both ladies and juniors are eligible for Big Fish Grand Prize. Must be eligible General Division tournament species: Dolphin, Wahoo, Kingfish, Grouper (Grey or Red, No WARSAW). In the event of a tie the winning fish will be the first fish that was weighed at the tournament scale. Fish entered in Big Fish do not have to be declared as such. When ‘knocked out’ of this category the fish automatically is placed in the General Division.
