The Sailfish Kickoff: Held at Monty's in Coconut Grove

The Kickoff has become the de-facto kickoff to the South Florida sailfish season. Teams knock the rust off their crews and get ready for several months of red hot sailfish action. The Kickoff give a chance for all teams to compete with separate categories for outboards, inboard and amateurs. The tournament committee feels that this is a way to spread out the winnings to a broader group of teams. “The anglers have asked for more divisions and we delivered,” explains Tony Albelo the tournament’s director. “We have 46 different categories in which teams can win cash prizes.” And when you are talking about $150,000 that makes for some great single prizes.
