Rebirth of World’s Richest Tarpon Tournament

The Boca Grande Chamber of Commerce will team up with the Boca Grande Fishing Guides Association to hold the World’s Richest Tarpon Tournament.

The 2012 tournament will mark the return of the competition which hasn’t been held since 2004. In the past, the tournament drew in so many anglers, sponsors and so much attention that the prize money reached an impressive quarter of a million dollars.

As for the winners of the next year's tournament estimates are $80,000 for the first place winner, $20,000 for second and $10,000 for third.

The World’s Richest Tarpon Tournament is all catch-and-release and is tentatively scheduled for May 17 and 18, 2012.
