We will also have awards for King Spearfisherman, Queen Spearfisherman, Best Club, Best Boat, Senior Division, Junior Division, Champion Skin Diver, Blue Water, and Sheepshead Aggregate (5 fish stringer)
A total of 55 awards will be given out to competitors with many prizes for winners to select from.

It really all depends whats open and whats not. Since Amberjack is closed, Almacojack will be the substitute but Almaco is usually a miscellaneous.
This year it could be:
Tarpon
Cubrea Snapper
King Mackerel
and other randoms

I could never win this shite. I'm too scared to shoot the big fish. I shot an amberjack one time that I underestimated, it drug me around for a bit and I thought I was gonna die. I'll stick to the 15-25 lb. fish.

I've only been spear fishing once in the gulf and this happened to me. I was scared shitless. Much respect to the fellas that do that on a regular basis.
