Lilyanne Fine Wins Season 4 Triple Threat Throwdown
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's fishing challenge ended with a kayak fishing package presented to the winner in person.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Fishing
Lilyanne Fine was named the Season 4 winner of the Triple Threat Throwdown, a fishing challenge run by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission that wrapped up on Sept. 13. FWC staff delivered her grand prize, a rigged kayak fishing package valued at more than $4,500, in person.
Why it matters
The contest is designed to spread fishing pressure away from the state's most popular game fish by encouraging anglers to target a wider mix of species. Its structure rewards participation across multiple program categories rather than a single catch type.
The grand prize is a kayak fishing package valued at more than $4,500, including a Bonafide SKF117 kayak, Mustad tackle, YakAttack accessories, and a Power-Pole Micro Spike Driver. Qualifying for the Triple Threat Club requires logged catches across three program categories: Grand Slams, Reel Big Fish, and the Life List.

Seasonal Patterns
The Triple Threat Throwdown operates within the FWC's Catch a Florida Memory program, which has been used to encourage anglers across the state to diversify the species they target. Season 5 is scheduled to launch in 2027, extending the program's multi-year contest format.
Anglers interested in the next contest can prepare by logging catches across the three program categories, Grand Slams, Reel Big Fish, and the Life List, which are required to reach the Triple Threat Club. Targeting a broader mix of species than usual can help build qualifying entries for future seasons.
The takeaway
Broadening the species you target and logging catches across multiple categories is the clearest path to qualifying for the Triple Threat Club. Watch for Season 5 details when the FWC launches the challenge in 2027.
