Well Thursday night was the night that we all dream about. At 11:30 the long jug came down screaming and we were TIGHT! Within 20 mins had the fish close and knew it was a big fish but never though it would be 380lbs. We called it 250-300 when it jumped going away, but always tough to judge the size of fish. Well 6 hours later 92" hit the deck and we were headed to the scales. Waiting for pics from scientist that was on the boat.

Here are the different divisions:

$100 - Broadbill Split. This a 60/40 split between the top two fish.
$300 - Winner Take All

$1,000 Calcutta - Winner Take All

I have one more question. Only one fish can be weighed in but I can catch up to three legally. I can weigh in the biggest of the three right? Or once I boat a fish thats the one I have to take in?

You can catch your legal limit of three and weight the biggest. Best of luck to everyone. I fished on Wed. and caught a 320lb,185lb and one like 100 by 10:00.

The payout is based on the number of boats that enter in the tourney. On average the payout for all divisions is well over $30,000.

Seeing as how there is alot of money at stake, we have made the decision to polygraph the winners as we see fit. It is unfortunate but we realize that it will make for an honest tournament.
