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.
