Debuting Aug. 20-24, 2008, in Panama City Beach, Fla., the Grand Lagoon National Saltwater Fishing Tournament is poised to set a re-cord as one of the nation’s largest sportfishing tournaments. The Grand Lagoon National boasts six competitive divisions at four marinas for a purse totaling $1 million and is hailed as “America’s most all-inclusive sportfishing tournament.”


It’s not only expected to draw more than 400 boats and 2,000 anglers from across the county, but also bring an estimated 40,000 spectators. If you’re interested in competing in four days of “ reel” action and adventure, registration takes place March 1 through Aug. 18, with entry fees ranging from $100 to $6,000, depending on the division.
