An unforgettable weekend of camaraderie, competition, and charity in the heart of Nantucket.
Registration and Sponsorship Opportunities are now open for the 24th Annual Big Game Battle. Join us for four unforgettable days at The Nantucket Boat Basin from July 31st to August 3rd, 2025.
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 are shooting to surpass $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.
