The 2026 Montauk Canyon Challenge (MCC) took place at Gosman’s Dock the week of July 10 to July 18, 2026. What an amazing venue it turned out to be. With ample space Gosman’s is the perfect host for this Fishing tournament.
Below are the winners from the 2026 Montauk Canyon Challenge (MCC). This was a tremendous year for the tournament, with more than $1.2 million in prize money.
This year also marked our first time hosting the Montauk Canyon Challenge at Gosman’s Dock, and it was a huge success. Beyond the competition, giving back remains an important part of MCC. 100% of the proceeds from our raffles went directly to our charity partners, Tunnel to Towers Foundation and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island.

It was a fantastic week of offshore fishing and competition, and we couldn’t be happier with the turnout and the success of our first year at Gosman’s Dock. Most importantly, we’re proud to continue bringing the fishing community together while raising money for two organizations doing meaningful work in our community.
