*Please bare with us as we introduce a new Tournament to the area. This tournament will operate as a sister tournament to our Heroes Benefit Tournament in Frisco. With that said, the Bluefin Tournament will only offer a weigh station in OI, the Hatteras tournament will operate out of HI. This may change in the future.
**As this tournament grows, we plan to add in a Giant Bluefin Calcutta, angler specific trophies, and other options. For this year, with less than 3 months to plan our goal is keep this year's tournament simple.
***The focus of this tournament is to help boost the local economy of the OBX during the off-season and support Battle Scarred Outdoors. Our goal is support local restaurants during the tournament week. More info to come as details finalize.
****The Odyssey Collective will be returning for both tournaments as our digital content creator.
***** Metalheads will be returning as our flag/ trophy sponsor for both tournaments in 2026.
******Full list of rules and regulations will be released in the next week or so.
Please be patient with us as we move forward with this at a quick pace.
