Ring of Honor
How prestigious is the Blue Marlin Grand Championship Ring of Honor?
Since 2012, 754 teams have entered the Blue Marlin Grand Championship.
Only 13 Captains have landed the honor of being inducted into the Ring of Honor.
There are no votes.
No politics.
No bias.
You gotta win it, to get in it.
Less than 2% of all Captains who have fished the event have earned this distinction.
The Ring of Honor is reserved exclusively for Captains who have been ‘Champaign Soaked’ as the winner of the Blue Marlin Grand Championship.
