This morning the excitement is still building in the Cabo San Lucas
Marina. The Los Cabos Billfish Tournament just ended and the official
winners are being announced at the Awards Banquet, at Playa Grande
Resort. Some big marlin were caught. But today the Bisbee's Los Cabos
Offshore Tournament, sometimes called the little Bisbee, is off and
running. The start took place this morning at 8:00 AM with the
traditional "Shotgun Start."
59 teams comprising 258 anglers fished today. There were 23 Billfish
caught: 2 Black Marlin, 9 Blue Marlin, 8 Striped Marlin and 4 Sailfish.
A pretty good start for what turned out to be a day of somewhat sporty
seas. The largest fish was a 490 lb. Black Marlin caught by angler,
Anthony Hsieh, aboard Bad Company at 9:51 AM. This was followed a half
hour later at 10:21 AM by another Black Marlin by angler, Michael Menas,
aboard the Shambala.
The top teams with the most billfish release points are Tenacious, with
600, El Gallo, with 600, and High Risk, with 400. The heaviest tuna, at
152.30 pounds, was caught by angler, Tim Burgess aboard the Caliente,
part of the Picante Sportfishing Fleet. The tuna category should be
interesting, as lately quite a few tuna in the 200 pound range have been
caught. Keep checking back as the tournament proceeds, we will try to
keep you updated.
Tight Lines and Good Luck to all the fishermen!
