Fishing Tournaments
For over a century, the Hawaiian Big Game Fishing Club has hosted premier sportfishing tournaments, bringing together top anglers, sportfishing enthusiasts, and conservation advocates in Hawaii’s legendary waters. Our tournaments are not just about competition—they are about tradition, camaraderie, and the pursuit of big game fishing at its finest.
Each year, we welcome anglers from around the world to test their skills against marlin, ahi, ono, and more in the deep blue waters of Kona. Whether you’re aiming for bragging rights, major cash prizes, or simply the thrill of the catch, HBGFC tournaments offer unforgettable experiences, top-tier competition, and a commitment to marine conservation.
Join us for our upcoming tournaments and be part of the legacy.
