Presidential Challenge Announces Women's World Virtual Fishing Challenge

New worldwide tournament encourages lady anglers

The organizers of the Presidential Challenge Charitable Foundation have announced the dates for the Presidential Women’s World Virtual Fishing Challenge. This virtual format event is slated for Feb. 1 – March 31, 2024. It is open to women anglers around the world, with no age limit. Scoring will take place using the CaptApp application, which verifies catches using video and geo-location, among many other features—cellular reception is not required for the app to operate.
Eligible species will include all billfish species (100 percent release for blue, black, white and striped marlin as well as sailfish and spearfish) as well as mahimahi and tuna. Blue and black marlin are scored at 500 points each; white and striped marlin are 300 points; sailfish and spearfish are worth 100 points. Tuna and mahi are one point per pound or inch if measured.
Anglers will have the opportunity to fish from 8am until 4pm for six days during the two-month period, not necessarily consecutively. To encourage females of all skill levels to participate to, the rules will include a “hook and hand” provision. Teams simply notify the tournament within 36 hours of the days they plan to fish.
“Based on the success of our Flamingo Fishing Rodeo last year, which was virtual and powered by CaptApp, we decided to continue to promote women anglers through this event,” says coordinator Joan Vernon. “Each team will fish for a set number of hours in waters anywhere in the world, and record their catches using CaptApp for this tournament. We expect a great turnout and a very fun time for everyone involved.” Proceeds from the event will benefit several worthy charitable and conservation-based organizations.
There will be prizes for each of the top three teams with trophies and merchandise included. There will be a prize given each month for the high point team.
• ENTRY FEE $600.00 PER TEAM-2 to 6 ANGLERS PER TEAM
• FISHING DAYS: FEBRUARY 1, 2024 – MARCH 31, 2024
• FISH ANY SIX DAYS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD
• MONTHLY PRIZE FOR TOP TEAM
• OVERALL PRIZES FOR TOP THREE TEAMS
• PRIZE FOR LONGEST MAHI MAHI
• TEAM MEMBERS CAN SUBSTITUTE. TEAMS CAN BE 2-6 ANGLERS
