2017 Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic

The Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic was started in 2003 when a group of guys from Galati Yacht Sales and Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort decided it was time to bring a big money tournament back to the Destin area. The rest, as they say, is history.
This year Tropical Storm Cindy tried to put a damper on the tournament and it did somewhat by cutting the boat total of 91 in half. The tournament persisted and still went on with a purse just under $700,000 which was far lower than the expected $2.3 million or so.

I truly don't understand the need to kill the bill fish simply for your entertainment! Keep doing it, and in 20 years you'll be having the Emerald Coast Jelly Fish Classic!

I’m sure your not aware of how fishing works based on your comment but they regulate the size of fish you can kill. All killed blue marlins are then donated to a local charity to help feed the less fortunate. The blue marlin population in the gulf is extremely healthy.
