The 36TH Annual

BIG ISLAND MARLIN TOURNAMENT

The event that started it all off in 1986.

The BIMT was the very first high stakes, big game tournament in Hawaii to pay a cash purse that was outlined in Black and White and adhered to (really)! It was the first to pay cash for tag and release.

The Base Entry pays the Top Three Largest Marlin!

Optionals pay Most Points and Largest Marlin per Day!
