Skins Marlin Derby

The Skins Marlin Derby is the third event of the official fishing competitions making up the Kona Marlin Tournament Series.   The series ends with a Championship Tournament held in December.

The Skins has the a scoring system unique to the world, that is facilitated by local waters’ ability to produce very large marlin. Total purse from the base entry fee is split evenly and made available for each of the three days of fishing. The largest marlin 500 pounds or better will take the “Skin” or daily purse. If only smaller marlin are caught, they will score points, but the “Skin” will roll forward and be added to that of the next day. If there is no marlin 500 pounds or better caught during all three days, the team with the most points will win all of the money.

Tag and released marlin count for points, so letting fish go is a big part of the game. In addition to this structure, there are the usual optional entry levels for the largest marlin of each day, and of the tournament.
