The 2024 Northeast Bluefin Showdown presented by Raymarine was a rousing success.
Fishing days for the event were July 27-29 and the conditions proved to be challenging, but the
fish cooperated. 

With over 40 boats participating, the competitors brought 24 giant bluefin to the
scales with total combined weight of 8940 pounds. Taking top prize for the event was Captain Eric Knight and crew aboard the Ivy Jean with their bluefin weighing 558 pounds. The catch earned them the first place prize of $50,000. Rounding out the top three spots were Four C’s at 537 pounds and Redemption at 471 pounds. Bringing the total prizes awarded to $65,000 noy including optional calcuttas.

On hand for this years’ banquet was Patriots Hall of Famer Matt Light, representing the Light Foundation, our 2024 sponsor charity. The band Black and Blue(fin) entertained the crowd for the night. A lively auction of some amazing items from our sponsors raised meaningful funds for donation to the Light Foundation. We’re still tallying the amount, but we’re proud that such a great event can not only generate excitement in the northeast fishing community, but also raise funds for such a great cause. We thank all who participated and our sponsors for their incredible support!

Stay tuned for event dates in 2025
