DESCRIPTION:Proud sponsor of… \nThe Tampa Bay Spearfishing Club is proud to announce the 16th annual Tampa Bay Spearfishing Challenge. The tournament will commence on the West Coast of Florida with the weigh-in & awards ceremony at OCC Roadhouse and Museum\, Clearwater Florida. The event is open to the public and averages over 1\,000 attendees. The tournament is a NOT-FOR-PROFIT event with proceeds going to support marine and local charities\, causes\, and organizations. \nOur tournament\, formerly the TBSC Winter Invitational\, started as a modest competition for local spear-fishermen and has grown to one of the world’s largest and most prestigious annual spearfishing tournaments. We pride ourselves in knowing that the Tampa Bay Spearfishing Challenge is one of the most fair and exciting tournaments for novice and expert shooters alike with a focus on fun\, camaraderie\, and our passion for the sport. As such\, our tournament has honors for the top overall shooters\, largest fish per species category\, top freediver\, top female\, and top junior. \nUnique to the Tampa Bay Spearfishing Challenge\, we conduct a random drawing format for prizes which gives every competitor an equal chance at our first-class prize table regardless of tournament placement. This random prize format puts the focus on community in conjunction with competition\, with honors regularly taken by inshore or newer divers due to rules that create a level playing field. This is a huge reason our sponsors and participants love us and come back year after year!
