Seward is one of Alaska's hot fishing spots for big halibut. It's common to catch fish between fifty and eighty pounds. The big ones come in between two hundred and three hundred pounds. Cash prizes totaling $875 are awarded to three winners each week for the 14 week tournament. Prizes are awarded based on random target weights ranging from 60 to 120 pounds. A grand prize jackpot winner is determined at the end of the tournament. There are also special prize, tagged fish, merchandise prizes and more! The Jackpot Halibut Tournament runs the month of June.
