BIG OM is more than a tournament — it’s a brand, a legacy, and a community. The final weekend of August belongs to BIG OM. Year after year, we celebrate our shared love for the sea, competition, and camaraderie.

What started with pure enthusiasm and community spirit has grown into a globally recognized event — a fishing story with soul. BIG OM brings together elite teams from Croatia and abroad, many of whom have earned their place on the world championship stage.

For nearly two decades, BIG OM has been a symbol of tradition, sportsmanship, and authentic coastal adventure. Every year, we write a new chapter — growing a brand that inspires. Since 2005, KSRM BIG OM has united education, excitement, and heritage, transforming the Kvarner region into an international hub for big game fishing and unforgettable sea stories — where passion for the ocean creates lasting memories.
