About Us

Get ready for the Louisiana Tuna and Wahoo Classic in the heart of Venice, LA—a premier fishing event where the Gulf’s most skilled anglers compete for the biggest catch. With the tournament’s multiple weigh stations, options for fishing days, and big-money prizes, this is an event many sports fisherman always put skin in the game.

For two months the Louisiana Tuna & Wahoo Classic brings together the top tuna and wahoo fishermen in the Northern Gulf, chasing big money and entertainment.

Yamaha Outboards presents a Cajun night out for the Louisiana Tuna & Wahoo Classic participants at the beginning of the season, with live music and a crawfish boil at Venice Marina. Teams will choose their three best fishing days throughout the months of February and March in search of the largest fish. The event will conclude at the end of March and the top tuna and wahoo winners will be awarded with big checks and a champagne shower.

Real Stories from the
Voice of LTWC Anglers

“What we love most about the Louisiana Tuna & Wahoo Classic is the unique format and targeted species. It’s structured right, it rewards real fishing, and the payouts are worth chasing. That combination is exactly why Team Wirenut 47 keeps coming back.”

Mike Jenner

Owner, Team Wirenut 47

"I’ve been fishing the Louisiana Tuna & Wahoo Classic since the day it started at seven years ago. It’s one of my favorite tournaments to fish. Just when you think a 200lb. yellowfin is going to win it, somebody’s gonna come behind you with a 220lb., same thing goes for the wahoo division, any other time of the year an 80lb wahoo puts you in the money, but here sometimes you have to break 100lb fish to take the winnings. When the fishing gets good, you have to declare your days. You never know when you’re gonna get blown out for a week straight."

Hunter Caballero

Owner, Paradise Outfitters

"Venice Marina is home to world class fishing and we are the proud home of the competition. Everyone that visits our tuna town has an opportunity to land the fish of a lifetime. We hope all of our guests enjoy their time in South Louisiana."
