Tarpon Rodeo
2026
It’s your turn to bring home the trophy. Are you ready to join the hunt for the Silver King?
The Tarpon Rodeo is our annual all catch-and-release tournament on Tampa Bay to benefit our restoration projects and education programs. Anglers will compete in a half-day tournament. Fish are logged in by the boat captain or a team representative on the event app, iAngler, and judged by a professional app representative.
