2026 Yellowtail Derby - (Seriola lalandi dorsalis)
Goal
Location: US Waters
Awards
Example: By June, you have submitted five fish (Applications #1-#5). In July, you spear a much larger yellowtail. You can submit a new application to replace one of your previous fish.
The Club will do its best, but it is your responsibility to notify the Club which fish you want replaced (e.g., replace Fish Application #3) and used in the final tally. In other words, do not just send in 9 applications, expecting someone else to figure out which ones to count.
In November, the final five applications on file per diver will be tallied to determine the winners.
Further details and rules are available on the application form.
