KDW Jackpot

Please Note this is a category within PBSC

The KDW Jackpot has become one of the most popular prize categories in the 3-leg Pompano Beach Saltwater Circuit.  It most definitely has forced teams to rethink their strategy in the tournaments. To win the prize money in the KDW Jackpot your team must catch a 10 pound Kingfish, Dolphin and Wahoo within the same tournament.  If no team catches the trio then the pot rolls over to the next PBSC tournament where teams can reenter the category and vie for the Jackpot again.
