I would like to announce that there will be a 2011 Blacktip Challenge. The tournament will occur during the last week of February.
The rules on the website are not updated, but will be in roughly a week or so. Sponsors will be announced in the next several weeks.
We will be allowing teams up to two (2) people. Anglers can also compete by themselves as a one (1) man team.
Please email me at joshjorgensen@blacktipchallenge.com or call me at (561) 727-9531 if you are interested in fishing or have any questions. If anyone desires to help with the organization of this event, please call me.

is this just east coast or both east and west?
Was just east coast in 09. Email Josh.
Just talked to Josh on the phone they may extend the east coast bounderies
But it's not open to the whole state this year. It would be a bit hard to make the mandatory opening meeting if ya had to drive 10 hrs to get there. I understand his position and the enormous amount of work involved in putting this thing together.
After talking with him I wish everyone shared his love of the sport and his desire to
make our sport more respected. Good luck to all who can or do enter this tourney.
how long is it
is this just east coast or both east and west?
It will be on the East Coast, from Hollywood to Cape Canaveral.

Good 'goin BTH (Josh), should be a great event this year. BIG PROPS to Will and SFSC for their support in this years "BTC-3". Be sure to register early to all entrants.
if I can throw a team together which should work out since it's only 4 days I'll fish it just for fun plus if we paddle and use the 9/0s we should be able to have double digit nights no problem.

Angler Form can be download here: http://rigstock.com/angler_form.pdf
The rules and prizes are updated on the website. Rules regarding photos have been changed to prevent cheating, please check the website for more details, http://www.blacktipchallenge.com
Cash payouts will be based on the percentage of anglers fishing the tournament. Prize money will be paid out by the following:
Largest Shark:
- 37.5% of the Entry Fees.
- Custom Shark Rod
Largest Blacktip
- 37.5% of the Entry Fees.
- Custom Shark Rod
I am expecting 50+ anglers to fish the tournament. At this number (50 anglers), based on the 75% entry fee payout, cash payouts will be $937.50 for Largest Shark and $937.50 for Largest Blacktip during only 3 days of fishing! Any one can catch a big blacktip! It is very possible that someone might walk away with over $1800.00 if the largest shark is a blacktip.
