Congratulations to Lucky Boy / Astra Sails, winners of the 2026 Marlin Madness Florida Bracket! Be sure to cast your vote to determine which team will make it to the championship, facing off against the leading teams from the International, East Coast, and Gulf Coast brackets.
Don’t forget to vote for your favorite sport fishing teams from the other three regions: the East Coast bracket, the International bracket and the Gulf Coast bracket.
Win one of these qualifying events and your team is automatically entered in Marlin Madness for the following calendar year. If a team secures multiple qualifying victories within the same season, advancement will be adjusted to prevent duplication, with runner-up teams from those events selected to fill the additional qualifying position. There is no entry fee for Marlin Madness; winners receive a full-page recap in the pages of Marlin as well as additional promotion on digital and social media.
