The first Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo was held in 1928. According to the official web site, this tournament is the oldest and largest fishing tournament in the country with over 3200 participants annually. This year's installment, to be held July 21-23, 2006, will be the 74th since its inception.
Anglers will compete in 30 separate categories for inshore and offshore species of fish for over $400,000 worth of cash and prizes including three boat, motor and trailer setups.
The Rodeo is a project of the Mobile Jaycees, an all volunteer organization whose members generously contribute their time and hard work to make the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo the premier saltwater fishing event along the Gulf Coast.
