RULES:
Team must have at least two current 2026 SKA members in good standing on board during the event in which the fish is weighed.
Kingfish must be caught during an SKA-sanctioned tournament in 2026.
Heaviest Kingfish weight must be verified by official tournament results.
Each tournament is assigned a single State/Region based on location and fishing waters.
A team may win the heaviest Kingfish prize in multiple States/Regions.
A fish weighed in a tournament can only apply to that tournament's State/Region and cannot be applied to any other State/Region.
In case of a tie (same weight), winners will split the prize money.
If no fish is weighed in a State/Region, prize money will rollover to the 2026 SKA Nationals Open and Small Boat Class pots.
Division 1 and 2 events are assigned to North Carolina with the exception of Rumble in the Jungle. Rumble in the Jungle and Division 3 events are assigned to South Carolina. Division 4 events are assigned to Georgia. Divisions 5, 6, and 10 are assigned to Florida. Division 7 events are assigned to the Gulf Region.
