WELCOME to the 26th anniversary of the World Cup Blue Marlin Championship.

Welcome to the 26th annual World Cup Blue Marlin Championship. This event pits some of the top fishing teams from around the world against each other in a unique, one day, winner take all tournament. Who will put their area on the big game fishing map this July 4, 2010? And, oh yes, win a pot full of money plus a team invitation to the IGFA Offshore World Championship.

The World Cup has been won in 10 different locations around the globe, often with blue marlin weighing well under 700 and even under 600 pounds. Go for it this year in the location of your choice fishing from 8:30 AM until 4:30 PM in your local time zone. Anything over 500 pounds could be the winner. In this event there is no second place.

To increase the excitement and prize money there is an optional Big Blue Challenge which also has a minimum size of 500 pounds.

This year, for the first time, we will be posting the real time hookups and released or landed big blues on Facebook and Twitter. Also, the real time standings, brought to you by Black Bart Lures, will be posted on the World Cup tournament web site.

Celebrate this July 4th by competing in the World Cup which Marlin Magazine lists as one of the top 10 money tournaments.

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD FISHING.
