The theme for 2025: YOUR INPUT, OUR COMMITMENT! 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.

The July 13-19, 2025 week will include a kick-off party at the Golden Nugget Rooftop 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!

The prize structure for 2025 has been updated to allow for teams to fish for their species and not lock into categories they are not interested in. There is MORE Calcuttas and optional categories that fit your request to fish.
