Alright folks, our Cobia tournament for 2026 will be ran different then the previous years.
Main event is still combined weight of 2x Cobias. Calcuttas are single fish submissions.
Tired of hoping that tournament day will be perfect with clear skies, your #1 crew with you, no wind, not packed with tons of boats and the fish are hungry?
Don't stress, you don't have to worry about that anymore. Buy your tickets, fish and submit your fish whatever day you want from June 15, 2026 to August 15, 2026, your fish weights are not posted, rankings will be posted before August 18, 2026, prizes and dock party on August 22, 2026.
Registration opens on May 1, 2026 AND closes on June 15, 2026
Once you pay for registration, you will receive 2 tickets (Wallace's Bait & Tackle) keeps the coupon. You go fishing, video of you landing the fish, killing it and placing serialized tag on it (serialized number must be visible in video). Tag/cable tie must be pulled tight against fish.
- Submit and surrender a ticket for each time you submit a Cobia.
