DIVE INTO THE ACTION
This extravaganza caters to everyone's taste. Imagine the adrenaline rush for avid anglers battling it out in the deep blue Gulf of Mexico, chasing after elusive billfish, and, of course, gunning for those sweet cash prizes. But wait, there's more! On land, families can dive into a sea of recreational activities at the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort and The Village of Baytowne Wharf. And guess what? The nightly weigh-ins at Baytowne Marina are not just a behind-the-scenes affair – they're open to everyone, turning the excitement dial up a notch.
Now, here's the cool part – the ECBC isn't just about catching big fish. It's a "modified-release" spectacle, setting the bar high with a minimum length for blue marlin. Rack up those release points for blue marlin, white marlin, sailfish, and spearfish. The heaviest hitters in blue marlin, dolphin, tuna, and wahoo categories take home the bacon. And don't forget the champs in the Release Division and Crew Division – they're cashing in too! Everyone gets their moment in the spotlight, from overall winners to the top lady and junior anglers.
