Jimmy Johnson’s Quest for the Ring – Atlantic City

Newly Inducted Pro Football Hall of Fame Coach, Coach Jimmy Johnson, is making his way up north for Summer 2025 to extend his world class fishing tournament from South Florida to Atlantic City, NJ for the 5th annual event. Annually, Jimmy Johnson’s “Quest for the Ring” Championship Fishing Week, Florida (JJFISHWEEKFL) is hosted in March at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s Guitar Hotel with fishing happening across South Florida featuring renowned parties, a guaranteed $1 Million purse, and entry into Coach Johnson’s famed Ring of Honor, where an annual coveted championship ring is at stake. Coach Johnson has teamed up with the Atlantic City Sports Commission to add on to the series and bring this high stakes and overly entertaining competitive sportfishing experience to Atlantic City, July 13-19, 2025, hosted at the Frank S. Farley State Marina at the Golden Nugget. Over 80 boats have fished annually, and we are ready to do it again for 2025!

The theme for 2025: FISH FOR YOUR SPECIES IN 2025! As Coach Johnson always says, “COME & GET IT!” Jimmy Johnson’s Atlantic City ‘Quest for the Ring’ Championship Fishing Week (JJFISHWEEKAC) will celebrate the magic of Atlantic City as a destination tournament and will feature extreme competition and celebratory parties each night of the week for the teams and their guests and families. When making your plans for next summer, think about all the fun guests at JJFISHWEEKAC will have. The July 13-19, 2025 week will include a kick-off party at the Golden Nugget Ballroom on Sunday, a secondary registration day on Monday for those who can’t make it Sunday, a choice of pick 3 out of 5 days of leave it out on the waters tournament competition, Daily Dockside Parties at the JJFishweekAC Hospitality Village at the Golden Nugget Marina, where teams can enjoy a taste of Atlantic City restaurants, drinks, and music, an ultimate gifting experience, where a wagon will be provided to help you roll out all the goods, and a closing party hosted at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino that is NOT to be missed!
