Fish Mob Tournament Series

YOu know what a flash mob is... now join in our fish mob!

Fish Mobs are pop-up virtual tournaments announced Thursday evenings and run until 5pm on the following Sunday. Each Fish Mob will have its own target fish. The winning fish based on gutted weight wins 75% of all the entry fees, with the rest of the proceeds going towards WSA general funds. WSA works to equal the playing field for women in spearfishing through sponsoring prizes for women’s divisions in tournaments, funding scholarships for women graduate students in fisheries management, advocating for women spearas, and other activities working to reduce barriers for women entering and staying in the sport. We thank you for your support and hope you have fun in the Fish Mob! Please see below for more detailed rules.

Rules:

    1. This tournament is open anywhere in the world, as long as the species is found there and open to legal harvest at the time.
