We get fisher people from as far north as North Carolina and west to Louisiana that just can’t resist the urge to scale a couple of the huge kings that Key West has become famous for this time of the year.” The event takes place at Key West Harbour, the finest facility in Key West, and this is the seventeenth anniversary of this great event.
