An unforgettable weekend of camaraderie, competition, and charity in the heart of Nantucket. 2026 registration now available!
Join us for five days of camaraderie, competition, and giving at the Nantucket Boat Basin, July 29th through August 2nd, 2026!
This year introduces a new “Pick 2 of 3” fishing format to give teams more flexibility around weather and ensure safer, fuller fishing days. Captains’ Check-In and Welcome Reception will now take place Wednesday afternoon.
Whether you’re returning to defend your leaderboard spot or joining us for the first time, we can’t wait to see you back offshore.
Since 2002, The Big Game Battle has brought together anglers for an unforgettable fishing experience. What began with a few boats has grown into a celebrated invitational event with over 50 boats and 300 participants.
More than a competition, it’s a community tradition focused on fun, friendship, and giving back. The true winners are the charitable organizations we proudly support. In 2025, we surpassed $2,000,000 raised for causes that matter since the inception of the tournament 24 years ago.
The Friends of Jack Foundation works tirelessly to ensure that every child feels supported, loved, and cared for during challenging times. They partner with local organizations to deliver meaningful programs that address gaps in healthcare, education, and emotional support for children in need. Their initiatives include providing comfort kits, funding child life specialists, and supporting therapy programs to ease children’s experiences in hospitals and other care environments.
Their mission aligns perfectly with our tournament’s values of fun, community, and giving back, and we’re proud to contribute to their vital work.
