The Key West Fishing Tournament (KWFT) is a long-standing event that promotes sport fishing, conservation, and tourism in the Lower Florida Keys. Every year, anglers of all skill levels compete in the tournament, with the chance to win Outstanding Angling Achievement or Sportsmanship Awards. The KWFT also encourages the release of fish, and has established minimum weights and lengths for some species in order to promote conservation.
