Three Fish. One Day. One Shot.
The BIG Inshore Slam is a triple challenge: bring a redfish, a trout and a flounder to the scales and you are fishing for the win. Weigh two and you beat every boat that weighed one. Weigh one and you are still in it for big fish. Everything is decided in a single day on North Florida's inshore water.
- Three fish weighed beats two fish weighed
- Two fish weighed beats any single fish weighed
- A fish can only be weighed in one category
- In the event of a tie, the boat that weighs in first wins
