Welcome to the 15th annual Boca Grande Chamber's World's Richest Tarpon Tournament 2005!

We certainly hope you will enjoy the new tournament format, which provides both a "Pass Tournament" and a "Beach Tournament." The split tournament format combined with the rule changes made this year should provide for some exciting fishing action.

Please read through your program carefully as it is full of valuable information. It is particularly important that captains and anglers read the rules and regulations.

All anglers and captains are invited to attend the Captain's Brunch & Rules Meeting held at Boca Bay Pass Club. Everyone is invited to the Silver King Celebration and Awards Ceremony in downtown Boca Grande. We invite friends and families to the Tournament Spectator Tent at the Gasparilla State Park Beach where you can enjoy the fishing action and listen to up to the minute fishing reports.

Plan on strolling the expanded Silver King Street Festival in the village. Here our local merchants offer unique gifts, fabulous artwork and delicious food. You will also find games & activities for the kids.

A gracious thank you to all of our sponsors. Our 2005 Platinum Sponsors are: Boca Grande Mortgage Group, Gasparilla Properties, McHugh-Porter Builders, The Landings at Coral Creek and Morgan Keegan & Co., Inc.

Thanks to our army of volunteers and the community of Boca Grande for helping to put on this annual event.

We would also like to thank the management and staff of Gasparilla Island State Park for their great facilities and warm hospitality. We hope your visit to our park will be a memorable one and that you will visit us often

Great fishing, music, dancing, food, raffles, lots of fun times and fabulous memories are in store for you this week. Please come and enjoy!

Catch 'em up!!
