HOUSTON, TX – September 8, 2026 – The Third Coast Renegades, a premier sportfishing team competing in the Sport Fishing Championship (SFC) league, have secured the Gulf Division title after a dominant season that included a first-place finish at the MBGFC Labor Day Invitational. The season also saw Angler and Owner Garrett Frazier set a historic single-day blue marlin release record at the Hurricane Hole Louisiana Open. The team's performance has punched their ticket to the Zane Grey Championship.

The Renegades closed out the regular season with 19,100 points, the most in the Gulf Division, capped by a first-place finish at the MBGFC Labor Day Invitational, where the team posted 2,500 points to take the tournament outright.

The team's championship run built on strong performances throughout the season, including a runner-up finish at the Hurricane Hole Louisiana Open, where the Renegades scored 3,150 points for second place. That tournament also saw Frazier set a new single-day record with five blue marlin catch-and-releases - the most ever recorded in a single day of SFC competition.

"This has been a season we'll remember for a long time. Every member on this boat put in the work, and to cap it off with a division title and a shot at the Zane Grey Championship is exactly what we set out to do," said Garrett Frazier, Angler and Owner of the Third Coast Renegades. "Setting the blue marlin release record at Hurricane Hole was a special moment, but this team title is what we're most proud of."

‍

With the Gulf Division championship secured, the Third Coast Renegades now advance to the Zane Grey Championship, where they will compete against the top teams from across the SFC's divisions for the league's premier title.

A Texas Program Built for the Long Game

The SFC is the fastest-growing offshore fishing league in the world, featuring 13 angling clubs competing across seven Atlantic and six Gulf Division tournaments, plus shared events, all building toward the Zane Grey Championship Playoffs in Cabo San Lucas each October. The Renegades earned their Playoff berth in 2025 as Gulf Division Champions.

‍

The Third Coast Renegades are one of only two teams in the SFC club representing the Texas Gulf Coast, giving the program a distinct identity in a nationally televised league that broadcasts on ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney Channel, while streaming across major sports platforms.

‍

The team is owned by a Houston-anchored group of four operating partners:

‍

Garrett Frazier, entrepreneur and CEO of Anetik, leads the team’s on-water competitive program;

‍

Terrence C. Murphy Sr., former Texas A&M wide receiver, NFL draft pick, and CEO of Texas-based Terrence Murphy Companies, with operating roles spanning real estate, venture capital, and professional sports;

‍

Warren E. Fisher, CFA, founder of FinTech-focused asset management firm Manole Capital;

‍

Rob McGowan, president and CEO of R3, a cloud-first managed IT firm and an Inc. 5000 honoree.

‍

The team’s audience skews high-net-worth, lifestyle-driven, and nationally distributed across SFC’s broadcast, streaming, and social footprint. The Renegades are currently selecting a single founding partner, one Texas-based, non-endemic brand, for the 2026 season and beyond.
