MARATHON, Florida Keys - In pursuit of the perfect game fish, scores of anglers are to aim for blue water and weed lines during Marathon's seventh annual Bull and Cow Dolphin Tournament set for May 2-5.
Teams of up to six anglers can register for the popular Middle Keys challenge.
Entry fee is $650 per team. Teams are asked to register by Thursday, May 2, although late registrations can be accepted until 6 p.m. Friday, May 3, at Big Time Bait and Tackle, located at 11499 Overseas Highway. There is no late registration fee.
A grand prize of $10,000 cash goes to the team that catches the largest bull and cow combined.
Cash prizes of $1,000 are to be awarded for the largest combined weight of three dolphin fish and for the largest wahoo, blackfin tuna and tripletail. A rod and reel combo is the prize for catching the largest single dolphin, while other awards await the top female angler, junior angler, angler with the most unusual catch and more.
Fishing is set for 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, May 4 and 5.
