For over 40 years, The Voice of Connecticut, WICC has hosted an annual tournament that has grown into what is now known as The Greatest Bluefish Tournament on Earth. It is considered to have the most participants of any fishing tournament of its kind in the United States. Prize money is over $40,000! The goal of the tournament is, and has been, to promote the recreational greatness of Long Island Sound. Thousands of anglers from up and down the East Coast register and participate in the Tournament each year. During the Tournament weekend, Connoisseur Media radio stations give hourly leaderboard updates on air, frequent social media and website updates, and WICC interviews the unofficial winner on the air once the Tournament has ended Sunday evening.
The tournament’s continuing popularity and success has brought tremendous economic benefits to the shoreline communities of Connecticut and New York.
