Welcome to the
43rd Annual Celebration of the
Pensacola International Billfish Tournament
It’s almost 4th of July weekend on the gulf coast. That means one thing, the
Pensacola International Billfish tournament is just around the corner. With warm
summer days and calm gulf waters, we all look forward to sunburns and screaming
drags. This year’s 43rd Annual Pensacola International will once again take place at the
end of Palafox Street in Plaza DeLuna Park. With Palafox Street just being named one
of the “top 10” streets in America, there is no other tournament atmosphere in the
world like that of the Pensacola International.
This year’s captains meeting will be hosted at Seville Quarter. We are pleased to
announce that this year’s captains meeting will be held on Wednesday night (July 2)
instead of Thursday night, like the previous few years. This change was made with
hopes of letting both owners and crews of boats participate in the captains
meeting/kickoff party and not having to rush to leave after the party. Boats may depart
from ANY pass Thursday, July 3 at 4pm. Lines in at midnight. Weigh-ins will be
Friday, July 4th and Saturday, July 5th (outside of Palafox Pier Marina by 8pm). Our
unique weigh in location at Palafox Pier is a wonderful atmosphere for your family and
friends to come wait for the arrival of the “Big Catch.” The weigh in will be complete
with entertainment, vendors, souvenirs, and music to keep all ages happy.
New for this year is $5,000.00 to the top catch and release angler. $50,000.00 is
the pot for, “The Pensacola International Vince Whibbs Grand Slam In The Gulf.” We
are also pleased again to offer the $5,000.00 guaranteed to the “Pensacola
International Southern Fastening Systems Small Boat Champion.” Small boat is
defined as any boat under 32’ and ANY sized outboard powered boat. We will also
have the Optional Cash Awards that include the popular catch & release and meat fish
categories. Offered again this year is the $10,000 award for the winning Blue Marlin.
We want to thank those of you who have continued to support the Pensacola Big
Game Fishing Club, without the support from local businesses and individuals we
would not be able to operate. We also want to thank the anglers who have continued
to “Fish the Tradition” for over 42 years, as well as welcome those new anglers.
We would like to invite you to fish the “trio” of Pensacola Big Game Fishing club
tournaments. The Pensacola Junior Angler, June 13-14 (Fathers Day Weekend) at Lost
Key Marina. The International July 2-6, in downtown Pensacola. Last but not least the
Pensacola Lady Anglers, August 8-10 at Lost Key Marina.
Mark your calendars now and make plans to join us. We look forward to a great
tournament season. Thank you again to everyone who helps make the International
what it is today.
Tight Lines and Screaming drags!!
