3rd Day and Preliminary Results of 2010 Bisbee's Black and Blue Marlin Tournament

22 Oct 2010. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Bisbee's Black and Blue Marlin
Tournament Results by Picante Sportfishing, www.picantesportfishing.com

Here's a rehash of the days events. The first fish of the day was
brought in by Rehab, one of the Picante Fleet, just before noon. The
fish weighed in at 347 lbs. It was a Black Marlin and was caught by
angler, John Stonecipher. It was the second fish landed by John so he is
angler of the tournament. It was the only fish weighed early in the day.
But just before lines out, another boat reported a landed fish.

The next team was the Fisherman team fishing on Santana. They brought in
a small Black Marlin hoping that it was over 300. But it was another
heartbreaker. It was a 292 pound fish, the third heartbreak fish to hit
the scales. So they too were penalized. It was probably a hard decision,
but just a matter of a few pounds is hard to estimate.

So as it stands the unofficial cumulative results are as follows:

1 Rehab 907.00

We will have the official scores, recap and winners after tomorrow
night's awards dinner.

Congratulations to Rehab from the Picante Fleet and especially to John
Stonecipher for being the winning angler. And also to the the rest of
the boats and anglers for a job well done. Also thanks to Baja Cantina
and Picante Sportfishing for putting together the first live feed from a
boat in the Bisbee's Black and Blue Marlin Tournament. And good work on
all the website results to the team at Bisbee.
