Probably the one thing that Eagles and Giants fans can agree on is a shared hatred for the Cowboys. For tristate anglers who are also local football fans, it might best to put aside pigskin allegiances this summer if you want a shot at a $1 million offshore purse.
From July 12-17, Quest for the Ring Championship Week comes to Atlantic City as former Cowboys coach and longtime NFL analyst Jimmy Johnson is adding another leg to his Fishing Championship Florida with a seven-figure purse up for grabs for offshore teams fishing out of the Frank S. Farley State Marina at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City.
The newly inducted NFL “Hall of Famer” and hardcore angler is making his way up north in July to extend his world class fishing tournament from South Florida to the Garden State. Annually, Jimmy Johnson’s “Quest for the Ring” Championship Fishing Week, Florida (JJFISHWEEKFL) is hosted in March at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s Guitar Hotel with fishing happening across South Florida featuring renowned parties, a guaranteed $1 Million purse, and entry into Coach Johnson’s famed Ring of Honor, where an annual coveted championship ring is at stake. Now, Coach Johnson has teamed up with the Atlantic City Sports Commission to add on to the series and bring this high stakes and overly entertaining competitive sportfishing experience to Atlantic City from July 12-17.
