February 8, 2021 By InTheBite Digital Editor

We’ve got a short intermission before the next round of sanctioned tournaments kick off and the Champion’s Cup is gearing up for another couple of weeks of tough competition. Currently, 13 teams are fighting for the top prize among the Florida, Gulf Coast, East Coast, International and Hawaii Divisions. Check out the competition below, and if you feel like you’re up for a challenge, register now.*

Current Champion’s Cup Team Lineup:

  • BAR South
    60′ Spencer
  • Lo Que Sea
    58′ Paul Mann
  • FLORIDIAN
    60′ SPORTSMAN
  • LUNATICO (Effie May)
    63′ Titan
  • LUNATICO2
    42′ Invincible
  • FINS UP
    54′ Bertram
  • Fish Tank
    65′ Hatteras
  • Krazy Salts
    80′ Viking
  • Wild Hooker
    68′ Blackwell
  • Lucky Dog
    57′ Bayliss
  • Eight Eights
    72′ Viking
  • Uno Mas
    77′ Mark Willis
  • You Never Know!
    72′ F & S

Winning a coveted Captain of the Year Cup is worth far more than any amount of money you could attain for the victory and this longstanding tradition will still be presented independently of the Champion’s Cup. However, we thought it would be nice to reward the rest of the fleet with new opportunities to win some extra cash.
