4:30 PM Lines out.The unofficial daily Billfish counts are in.37
Billfish were caught. 27 Striped Marlin, 9 Blue Marlin and 1 Black
Marlin. The only boat bringing in a Marlin is the Fisherman. It looks
like Daniel Guerrero has the biggest fish of the day, that is, if it is
over 300 lbs. The fish will be scored at 1 point per pound if it is over
300 lbs. If it is less than 300 lbs the team will be penalized 300
points plus 2 points per pound under 300 lbs. So the captains have to
have a good eye.
The scoring goes like this 300 points per Black or Blue Marlin plus 1
point per pound if it comes to the scales and it over 300 lbs. One point
per lb. for any Striped Marlin brought to the scale and is over 175 lbs.
If it is under weight the penalty will be 300 points plus 2 points per
lb. under the minimum. Only one marlin per boat per day. Released Blue
and Black Marlin will receive 500 points;Striped Marlin, Sailfish or
Spearfish will receive 100 points.
The teams must supply their own video cameras to verify their releases
So now we just sit an wait to get the results of the fish being brought
in. More as it comes in.
