Kevin Johndrow and Jay Linscott won last year's 36hr Grind. This 46 inch monster taken by Jay is the biggest striper ever caught in the tournament!

The tournament will officially start at 6pm sharp on Friday September 27th. It will go until 6am on Sunday September 29th.

The awards ceremony will be at Sandy Neck Beach from 8am-10am on Sunday September 29th. I’ll be encouraging all MFCC members to attend because it will be a nice opportunity to meetup and get together!

Last year we had 41 teams register for the tournament. The competition was intense with a very exciting finish and some really big fish were caught. With all the surfcasting talent we have on MFCC, let’s see how you can do under tournament conditions! 

Last year we had 41 teams register to compete in the tournament. We're hoping to break the 50 team mark in 2024!

Tournament Rules

  • The tournament will run from 6pm on September 27th until 6am on September 29th. You are free to fish as much or as little as you’d like during that timeframe.

  • This is a team event and each team will have 2 anglers. Teammates must fish together and stay together.

  • Anglers must fish from shore. Fishing from boats and kayaks is not allowed. All fish must be caught with two feet firmly planted on land. However, you may use a boat or kayak to access offshore rocks, islands or sandbars. You may also swim out to rocks or other spots.

  • In previous years you had to fish on the Cape-side of the canal. This year to increase participation from our South Shore members, fishing from shore in the towns of Kingston, Duxbury, Plymouth and Wareham are allowed. However, the Cape Cod Canal itself will remain off limits.

  • A qualifying striped bass must be at least 22 inches long and photographed on the official measuring tape which each team is responsible for purchasing on their own. One angler will hold the striper on the measuring tape while the other angler takes the photo. 

  • Measure the fish from the bottom jaw to the end of the tail. Pinching the tail to gain an extra inch is not allowed. I will likely send out photos and videos explaining exactly how to measure fish so we all follow the same principles.

  • A team’s total score will be the combined length of your three longest fish.

  • This year team's will be submit their final scores using an online form. The cutoff for submitting scores will be 6am. Make sure you get your scores submitted on time! The top 3 teams will be required to submit photos of their qualifying fish. 

    • If you haven't already signed up for the tournament, then please fill out the tournament signup for below to get registered - it's free!

    I'm fortunate to have grown up on the beach, and I've been fishing since kindergarten. I have great family, friends and fishing experiences to be thankful for. Just being out there is enough-catching fish is just a bonus!
