Huge thank you to Fisherman's Ideal Supply House for supporting the Tampa Bay Spearfishing Challenge and loading up the prize table with some awesome gear!

For over 40 years, FISH has been a staple in the Tampa Bay and Gulf fishing community, supplying everyone from weekend anglers to hardcore offshore fishermen with the gear they need to get it done on the water. Family owned and operated, they’ve built their reputation by being the true “one stop shop” for fishing, boating, and marine supplies.

Whether you’re gearing up for a deep drop, chasing pelagics offshore, or loading up for a weekend dive trip, chances are FISH has exactly what you need — and probably a few things you didn’t realize you needed too. Rods, tackle, rigging supplies, boating gear, spearfishing essentials… these guys stock it all.

If you haven’t been to their shop yet, do yourself a favor and make the trip. Walking through FISH is like stepping into a candy store for fishermen and spearos. The knowledgeable staff and massive selection have made them a go-to spot for the Gulf Coast fishing community for decades.

📣 Prize Table Update 📣

Yesterday at our kickoff party, we announced an important change to how the prize table selection process will work this year.

To help eliminate issues with lost or forgotten mystery tickets, confusion during selections, and participants accidentally picking multiple times, we are officially transitioning to a RANDOM NAME WHEEL selection process for the prize table.

As always, per tournament rules, participants MUST be present when in order to select a prize. To remove any confusion, this year you must check in prior to the distributions of prizes. There will be a designated check in table.

We believe this new process will:
✅ Speed up prize selection
✅ Make the process smoother and more transparent
✅ Ensure everyone can clearly see when names are called

The random selection wheel will be displayed live on the screen behind the stage/prize table during the weigh-in festivities.

We appreciate everyone’s support as we continue improving the tournament experience year after year!

Huge thanks to returning sponsor Koah Spearguns for coming back to support the 2026 Tampa Bay Spearfishing Challenge!

If you know spearfishing, then you already know Koah builds some of the most trusted, fish-stoning guns in the game — handcrafted right here in Florida and proven from the Gulf to bluewater.

And they didn’t come empty handed… 👀
We’ve got an absolutely killer Koah speargun sitting on the prize table waiting for one lucky diver to take it home. 🔱

Huge thank you to John Ippolito for coming back and continuing to support the tournament and the spearfishing community year after year.

Whether you’re chasing mangos on the reef, dropping deep on grouper, or hunting pelagics, this is the kind of gun every diver wants in their arsenal.

Make sure you show them some love and check out their lineup of custom-built spearguns, gear, and accessories. Huge appreciation to Koah for continuing to support the spearfishing community and helping make this year’s tournament even bigger — built by divers, for divers. 🔱🔥

Big thanks to MarineFab for coming on board as a sponsor for the Tampa Bay Spearfishing Challenge!

These guys are building some seriously clean marine fabrication products designed for real-world boaters, divers, and spearos — from custom storage solutions to dive tank racks and killer speargun holders. Their lineup is built around durability, organization, and maximizing space on the water.

One lucky competitor is going to take home a badass MarineFab speargun holder from the prize table — perfect for keeping your guns secure, organized, and ready for the next drop. Their speargun racks are designed specifically for spearfishermen and built with marine-grade materials and stainless hardware.

One of the coolest things about Marine Fab is that they also do custom fabrication work. If you’ve got an idea in your head for your boat, garage, trailer, or dive setup and want to bring it to life, hit them up. These are the kinds of guys who can turn a rough idea into something clean, functional, and built to last.

Make sure to show MarineFab some love and check out what these guys are building. Their products are made by people who clearly understand diving and boating life. 🌊🔱
