Western Outdoor News has been the leader in California for outdoor enthusiasts for the past 70 plus years, and we pride ourselves on the ability to both supply our readers with the best outdoor content and reports for both their fishing and hunting needs on a weekly basis. WON also leads the market in unique events and tournaments like none other in the industry, and the company is pleased to announce a new tuna tournament years in the making, the WON California Tuna Jackpot.After a very successful first event, we can't wait to get back at it in 2021. Once again our sponsors will be heavily involved and ready to doll out thousands of dollars in gear for the second installment of the Ca Tuna Jackpot.
The format for the competition is the top 3 largest tuna caught during the Saturday, August 14th, California Tuna Jackpot (lines in at 5:00 A.M. – lines out at 5:00 A.M. August 15th) are in the money. The team that catches the biggest tuna on August 14th wins 70 percent of the total cash in the entry pool. The second largest tuna wins 20 percent, and the third largest tuna wins 10 percent. Based on 50 participating teams, the first place team will take home a cool $7,000, while second takes $2,000 and third place takes $1,000.
The WON California Tuna Jackpot entry fee is $400 per team of four. You may have less than four team members, but there must be a minimum of two members on each boat. Teams may have up to six maximum team members. No more than 6 people are allowed on any tournament boat during tournament hours, and all people on the boat must be on the registered team. Each team member over four is $100 additional for each member. The California Tuna Jackpot will have optional tuna jackpots available for teams interested in boosting their chances at big money payouts. The event also offers teams a yellowtail option, as we all know there should be some toads roaming the same grounds as the tuna during our event. Please click on the entry form for more details on our available jackpot options.
Teams are encouraged to sign up as early as possible with at least their general team entry, so we can make sure all team members are registered and have completed the necessary paperwork to be eligible for team earnings. Teams may send entry by mail with options included. Options will not be available online and must be paid by check, wire transfer or money order in advance or at the San Diego Marlin Club on August 13th from 9:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M.
Once a team has completed their registration process and has been cleared by WON, registered teams may launch at any Southern California launch facility of their choice, and begin their journey to their chosen fishing grounds. Tournament fishing times are August 14th from 5:00 A.M to 5:00 A.M. August 15th. All tournament fish “MUST” be presented to our official weigh station by boat at the San Diego Marlin Club with all team members on board. The weigh-in will be held at the S.D Marlin Club dock between 8:30 A.M. and 11:00 A.M on August 15th. All teams must be inside the Ballast Point landmark entry of the bay by 10:30 A.M. to be eligible to weigh their catch. Teams may not fish for target species until lines-in at 5:00 A.M, but may make bait prior to lines in.
The California Tuna Jackpot will commence at 12:00 P.M. at the S.D. Marlin Club parking lot with our event sponsored raffles and awards presentation for the top 3 teams and optional winners.
