Boca Grande is both an institution and an important look at conservation. It is a terrific community event that brings people from Florida and around the world to Boca Grande Pass to fish for the ultimate gamefish - Tarpon. 

Focusing primarily on education and conservation of the fishery combined with sport fishing, catch and release promotes and educates participants with safe boating practices, sportsmanship and responsible angling in order to encourage a safe, successful family friendly event that will ensure the protection and proper stewardship of our natural resources so that they may be enjoyed for generations to come. Tying generations together for years, kids adore the all–release, no-weigh, no-kill philosophy.

Take a look at this great video showcasing the importance of conservation and how the Tarpon tournament is creating opportunities to help rehabilitate a habitat that has flourished in South West Florida for thousands of years.
