The Kona Kick Off

Dates: June 27 – 29, 2026

Presented By

As the highly anticipated kickoff to the summer season, the Kona Kick Off is a competitively priced “four flags” tournament that splits the base pot between the largest marlin, ahi, ono and mahi. Additional optional jackpots for all four species, along with marlin tag points, create multiple ways for teams to win.
