This offshore dolphin (mahi-mahi) fishing tournament offers $16,000 in cash and prizes, with a $10,000 Grand Prize for the heaviest dolphin.

Last year’s tournament brought over 90 boats to St. Lucie’s waters and results were close, with less than five pounds separating first and fourth place.

Capt. Russ Macy and his anglers made their way to the stage where their 38.4-pound dolphin inched out the competition to claim first place while Capt. Paul Struve and his crew took home second place with a 37.5-pounder, Capt. Paul Garrett and company’s 35.35-pounder earned third place, and Capt. Travis Waddell and his anglers took home fourth place with a 33.05-pound dolphin.

Evemarie Becker was the Lady Angler winner with a respectable 27.75-pound dolphin while Tanner Harrelson was the Junior Angler winner with a 29.5-pounder.

Boat entry fee is $250 before May 2nd and $275 after May 2nd.

There is no cost to sit and enjoy the excitement as the weigh-in takes place. There will also be trivia and prizes between weigh-ins for the audience.

Weigh-in is Saturday, May 14th from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The parking garage is open and free for parking convenience.
