There, anglers will check-in, weigh fish and enjoy exciting post-fishing activities, including live entertainment, fishing products on display, drawings, giveaways and more. Lucky (and skilled) anglers can weigh qualifying fish at designated times throughout the event.

In addition to the $1 million fish, winners are eligible for prizes including first place ($5,000) and second place ($1,000) during the Atlantic City fishing event for the largest qualifying catches in each of the Challenge’s recognized species, including: striped bass, fluke, weakfish, black drum, bluefish, kingfish, tautog and sea bass.
