The Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Junior Angler tournament took to the water on Tuesday morning out of Sisters Creek, a prelude to the 40th anniversary, two-day event that begins on Thursday. While fishing is a big part of the Junior Angler, the smiles and seeing them trying to carry fish bigger than they are up the docks are the best part of the event. RESULTS from the 2020 Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament“About like a couple of hours we got it, right at the start,” Sierra said of his catch. “My reaction was I was amazed that it was that big,” Croft said. The general kingfish tournament is Thursday and Friday with weigh-ins starting at 1 p.m. both days.

Jacksonville, FL - The 39th Greater Jacksonville Kingfish tournament hit the water on Thursday. They began weighing fish for day 1 at around 3:30 Thursday afternoon. After a record-setting Junior Angler saw 141 fish weighed, you had to wonder if it was a good sign that the Kingfish were out there--or, if there were any more left! Before a lightning delay, the leading fish belonged to "Side Job" captained by Chris Jonson Jonsson who hauled in a Kingfish weighing 49.79 pounds. Taylor Johnson on Side Job is leading the Lady Angler after the first day with a 42.64 pounder.
