The Mikie Pigott Jr. Memorial Classic is a one-day billfish tournament held in honor of a legendary Antiguan sportfishing captain. Hosted by the Antigua & Barbuda Sports Fishing Club out of Falmouth Harbour Marina, the event brings together anglers for competitive offshore action in the rich waters surrounding Antigua.
With a $1,000 per team entry and 80% of the purse awarded to the top points finisher, the tournament rewards both skill and strategy, with a strong emphasis on billfish releases. The event has a proven track record of exciting competition, including standout performances such as last year’s winning team, RUM’n’COKE, which secured victory with the first blue marlin release.
As an official qualifying tournament for the Offshore World Championship in Quepos, the Mikie Pigott Jr. Memorial Classic attracts serious anglers looking to compete at a higher level while honoring one of Antigua’s most respected figures in sportfishing.
