Abstract:
Founded in 1957, the Cape Hatteras Anglers Club's Annual Invitational Surf Fishing Tournament is one of the largest of its kind in the world and is North Carolina's second oldest fishing tournament. The fisherman's catch is measured and then released; points are awarded based on the size of the fish. Surf fishing generates $1.6 billion to the state economy, with anglers spending $170 million on trips and $1.4 billion on durable goods.

Abstract:
Jenkins discusses the Cape Hatteras Anglers Club Annual Invitational Surf Fishing Tournament. The club organized in 1957, and the tournament began the following year. The event is held around the first weekend in November. Competition is between teams of six members each. The current number of teams is one hundred, the maximum number that will fit into the space the Park Service allows the club to use. There is a waiting list of fifty-eight teams. When one team dropped out in 2003, the team that replaced it had been waiting on the list for twelve years. Teams compete not for money, but for a replica of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.
