Once again, this year's "World's Richest" filled up quickly with anglers from all over, teaming up with the world's best Tarpon Guides. We will be using our unique "all release" system of the weigh barge and tournament scale again, ensuring the survival of each Tarpon weighed and released.

This Tournament Guide contains all the information you will need. Don't miss a moment of the excitement planned for the Pass and Island: great fishing, great prizes and lots of fun! Our first Silver King Celebration during last year's tournament was a huge success for the entire community. This year will be even better, thanks to our all-volunteer staff and the members of the Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce.

A big "Thank You" goes out to all who have donated their time, talent and energy to give us another great tournament.

Good Luck and Great Fishing! I'll see you in the Pass.
