The Edisto Invitational Billfish Tournament, the much anticipated final leg of the 2021 Series, begins this week. We’re excited to see how the overall standings will shake out following the results of the tournament. Although the Inappropriate has a well-established lead in the Series and will be tough to beat, you never know what will happen in sportfishing. The pendulum of luck and skill, as well as the necessary alignment of both, can tumble any leaderboard under the right circumstances.

Let’s take a look at this year’s current top ten heading into the Edisto Invitational Billfish Tournament, hosted at the Marina at Edisto Beach on July 21-24, 2021.
