The Skins Marlin Derby

Dates: July 10 – 13, 2025

Patterned after the classic Skins Game PGA golf tournament, the Skins Marlin Derby’s base purse is available each fishing day to the largest marlin weighing 500 pounds or more. If no one catches marlin of that size, the day’s purse rolls over and is added to the next day’s purse. Additional jackpots are available for tagged marlin.
