Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament
The AT&T Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament (GJKT) is a contest fishing for King mackerel that spans six days every July in Jacksonville, Florida. The tournament is the largest kingfish tournament.〔Sutton, Jim: ("Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament changing with times" ) Florida Times-Union, July 24, 2009〕 According to Rick Ryals, a local boat captain, the GJKT is "true competition in its purest form. It doesn’t matter how big your boat is or how much it costs. There are no secret weapons. There is only good solid preparation and the luck of the draw."〔("General Tournament Information" ) Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament〕
==History==
In 1980, a handful of Jacksonville businessmen including Bob Gipson, Walt Murr and Pete Loftin resolved to create a fishing contest like the ones offered in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. The first tournament was staged in 1981 at the Pablo Creek Marina at the Intracoastal Waterway. Commuters on their way home would stop, relax and enjoy the event.
For thousands of spectators, it became more of a food festival than a fishing tournament. That changed drastically in 1996, when the tournament was moved to (Sisters Creek Park ), a much larger area but more remote.〔〔("Champs to win big in Kingfish tourney" ) Florida Times-Union, March 21, 2001〕 A newspaper reporter stated that "Sister's Creek (Park) isn't 'on the way' to anywhere from anywhere. If you're headed that way, you're pretty much headed there."〔 The location is ten miles northeast of the city center, down a winding, two-lane road.〔
