2015 Spearfishing Tournament


2nd Annual White SeaBass Spearfishing Classic in Honor of Kirk McNulty

In 2014, the inaugural contest was won by South Bay local Paul Hugoboom with a 72.70 pound white sea bass speared in local waters.  The tournament honors the legacy of Kirk McNulty, a surfer, diver, brother, and son. Kirk was a world class waterman who was inspired by everything ocean. Although some of you may not have known Kirk we hope that you will participate as we are a small family of spearfishermen here on the West Coast and there will be some epic prizes up for grabs.

A $10 entry is required prior to spearing a fish. Register at the bottom of the page. The proceeds will be donated to the White Seabass Hatchery Program led by Hubbs-Seaworld to help improve the WSB population on our coast.

Please join us in the 2nd Annual tournament to celebrate Kirk's life and passion for the sea. Winners will be chosen by Top 3 Biggest Fish! Awards Party held in June at Body Glove Headquarters in Redondo Beach.
