Traditionally the first tournament in Early June produces some Blackfin Tuna while the second tournament in August has a higher chance for a Wahoo, though there has not been a Wahoo taken in a tournament since 2017. Wahoo have been taken every month of the year by Kayak in SE Florida. Last year a legal swordfish was landed by an angler jigging for Tuna -- Beauty of Florida is the multitude of possibilities.
