The 2019 event attracted 404 boats, more than 3,000 participants and paid out more than $6. 5 million in prize money, including $1. 5 million in top individual awards. Since 1974, the white horse open has been called "the world's largest fishing competition," and since then has offered more than $70 million in prize money to more than 100,000 fishermen from more than 14,000 registered boats.
