SIGNATURE EVENT: The Keli Wagner Lady Angler (KWLA) Tournament is one of the largest ladies-only events in the world. The one-day billfish release tournament set the stage in 2023 with a field of 266 boats and an estimated 1,500 lady anglers. The RECORD purse was $396,100.

GRAND SLAM was the 2023 WINNER with 2 Blue Marlin + 1 Sailfish release worth 825 pts and $131,537!

The KWLA tournament is named in honor of the late wife of Big Rock board member, Casey Wagner, who lost her battle with cancer in 2008. Keli was enthusiastic about the success of this tournament and she played a vital role in having the proceeds donated to the cancer clinic.

The 266 boats racked up 51 releases – 38 Blue Marlin, 11 Sailfish and 2 White Marlin!
