Connor Cruise won first place with his fishing team at the 2022 Sarasota Slam last weekend. He smiled as he held the winning check for “Top Fish” alongside his teammates.
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s son donned a monochromatic striped camouflage hoodie with a fisherman’s logo, hood pulled up with a baseball cap underneath, and he had reflective sunglasses on to protect his eyes against the water. His shoes were the Adidas Ultraboost, an iconic style amidst athletes and non-athletes alike.

Launched in 2015, the Ultraboost was one of the first running shoes to become popularized as a streetwear style. The running shoe is apt for sprinting, walking, and now, seemingly, fishing. Designed in soft knit for comfort and a boosted sole for performance benefits, the Ultraboost is a common choice for practical, yet fashionable footwear.
In this particular fishing tournament, Cruise exhibited peak performance as the fish he caught tipped the scales at 301 pounds. The Warsaw Grouper was reeled out of the water to a shocking gasp amidst the crowd, as the fish dangled on the line above the deck.

![Tom Cruise’s son Connor Cruise landed a big catch to take a top prize in a Florida fishing tournament. Connor and his Top Fish team walked away with a check for $4,350 at the Sarasota Slam after hauling in a 301-pound Warsaw fish. A tournament spokesperson explained Warsaw are bottom feeders, making them elusive to catch, and often take hours to reel in. No electric rods are allowed at the Sarasota Slam, meaning Connor and his Top Fish pals had to painstakingly “hand crank” the fish to the surface. Their catch earned them top prize on Saturday (AUGUST 27) in the Warsaw division of the tournament, one of the largest fishing tournaments in Southwest Florida. More than 200 anglers competed in this year’s event, with 28 boats fishing offshore and 21 inshore. Cash prizes totalling more than $70,000 were given out in 12 different divisions. Keen fisherman Connor and Top Fish still have some way to go to top last year’s Warsaw division winning team, Double Nickel, who caught a 419 pound fish. *BYLINE: Courtesy of Sarasota Slam/Mega. 27 Aug 2022 Pictured: Tom Cruise’s son Connor Cruise and his Top Fish team landed a 301-pound Warsaw fish to take top prize in the Warsaw division of the Sarasota Slam fishing tournament in Florida. *BYLINE: Courtesy of Sarasota Slam/Mega.

Cruise’s four-man team beamed proudly with the fish, as their hard day out on the water resulted in a well-deserved victory. The team caught the fish on Friday, and they kept it on ice until its official weigh-in on Saturday. Winning the grand prize at a Florida fishing tournament is no small feat, especially for the 27-year-old.
