The fee to get into the optional Daily Blue Marlin Jackpot is $2,000. The Daily Blue Marlin Jackpot covers all three days of fishing. For example, the Daily Blue Marlin Jackpot awards go to the largest blue marlin (by weight) that exceeds the minimum weight requirement of 500 pounds caught each day. The daily jackpot prize will consist of one-third of the total jackpot money. If no fish that reach the minimum weight on an individual day are weighed, the jackpot rolls over to the next fishing day.

If no qualifying fish are caught, the entire Daily Blue Marlin Jackpot will be awarded to the top billfish release point's team of each day of competition. If all teams entered in the Daily Blue Marlin Jackpot fail to earn billfish release points during any day of competition, the jackpot rolls over to the next day's or the previous day's winners.
