Thanks for all of your support, it was recently my honor to present Mission Fishin’ with a check for $10,000.00 For a first-year event like this, to cover expenses, pay out winners, and raise $10,000 for a great cause is an incredible result. I want to thank all tournament participants, sponsors, donors, and contributors that made this event possible.

What a finish with team Big Game catching the last Sailfish of the day allowing Robert "Reggie" Hiro to clinch top Male Angler at the very last minute!

With just 3 minutes to lines out Captain Ariel Medero and the Big Game team reported a double hook-up! One sail was lost but they are still fighting the remaining one. According to the rules they are allowed to finish fighting their fish and a successful release will count! What an exciting finish! Stay tuned for more.

Less than an hour to go. Good luck everyone, let's finish strong! 💪 #floridakeys #floridakeysfishing
