2025 Tournament Flyer & Details
Spring is the time of year we’re seeing a push of large tunas, yellowfin especially, migrating off the Palm Beaches. These “trophy” fish are being caught more frequently and the PB Tuna Tournament offers an exciting format to target them.
Registered boats who catch a yellowfin, bluefin, bigeye or blackfin tuna (over 40 lbs.) are eligible for the guaranteed $10,000 cash prize! The prize money for 2026 is up to $20,000. The single heaviest qualifying trophy tuna wins this cash prize. NEW in 2026, teams will have 2 full weeks of fishing to catch their trophy fish and target tunas, with weekly cash prizes for the 3 heaviest blackfins.
Additional cash prizes and awards (for both Adult & Junior anglers) will be offered for teams fishing Saturday, May 9th, designated the Blackfin Blitz day of the tuna tournament. This fishing day is FREE to WPBFC members w/ an optional 2-tuna buy-in. The weigh station is open Noon – 2pm at Sailfish Marina.
