The 15th Annual Captain Leon Shell Memorial Sailfish Tournament benefiting the Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice of the Florida Keys is just around the corner.

On March 1-3, professional and amateur fisherman will hit the waters to see who can catch and release the most sailfish. There will be cash prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in both divisions, as well as awards, trophies and exciting raffle prizes. Prizes also awarded for first place in the weight fish (tuna, dolphin and kingfish) division.

Since it began in 1984, the tournament has donated more than $165,000 to VNA/Hospice. Monies donated are used to support the agency’s home health and hospice programs and services.
