Don’t miss Black Hall Outfitters’ TogTober Tournament, which catches fire this week! For 11 years now, anglers in Long Island Sound have relished the top-tier competition taking place in this event. The cash and gear prizes bring the hardcores, and the amazing food at the awards ceremony brings the crowds.
The 2025 event looks to expand even further beyond the great success of 2024 where the grand prize winner went home with a check for $4,000! There will be prizes awarded for the top three largest blackfish landed during the four day event, first and second place will net cash prizes based on the number of entries and the third place finisher will take home a rod and reel combo. Additionally, there will daily gear prizes for largest tog and calcuttas in four categories; blackfish, black sea bass, porgy and false albacore. Entry for each Calcutta is $20 per angler. Tournament entry is $50 per angler.
All participants must be registered and paid on or before October 15th at 9 a.m. and that includes the Calcuttas. All weigh-ins will be conducted at BHO’s Westbrook location (372 Boston Post Rd. Westbrook, CT) and weigh-ins conclude at 3 p.m. sharp, no exceptions, any fish weighed after 3 p.m. will not be counted, so make sure you’re on time! There is no boundary as to where a participant can fish, as long as you’re following the rules and regulations for the area you’re fishing and you can get back in time for the final weigh-in, you’re good to go.
Winning blackfish are eligible for Calcuttas as long as the angler has “paid in” and anglers must be registered and paid in the main tourney to compete for the Calcuttas. Tournament standings and any other important information will be sent to each participant via text message and email once per day.
There will be an awards ceremony and after-party at the Westbrook location with great food and drink, live music and an awesome raffle, some of the big prizes that will be available include; the Qualified Captain Marine Trauma Kit, a Tsunami Carbon Shield 3, 7-foot heavy action rod, Tsunami Evict II 3000 low gear reel, Osprey Custom Umbrella Rigs and more!
