The lines are all in and the preliminary results are in. The official results will be announced at the 7:00 p.m. Awards Banquet, at Playa Grande Resort in Cabo San Lucas.
It looks like the 713 lb. Black Marlin that was caught by Daniel Fisher aboard the 35' Cabo Yacht, Fisherman will be the big fish winner. Also aboard the Fisherman, angler Hugo Olachea Pino's 466 lb. Black Marlin added to their score to post a total of 1179.00 points.
Following in second place was angler, Shawn Guttersen's 629 lb. Blue Marlin caught aboard the Sneak Attack.
The next spot in the winner's circle was a very interesting battle.Just winning by a couple of pounds was angler,Jason Pruden's 465 lb. Blue Marlin. Yep, a couple of pounds.
Angler,Rich Hamilton's 463.0 lb. Blue Marlin, aboard the Bandit missed by two pounds. Also interesting to note is that the Black Marlin(466 .lbs) on the Fisherman was the third biggest fish, but the points were added to the biggest fish totals to put them in first place.
Most Billfish Release Points was another close match. The top three spots were Game On with 1300 points, Hang Em High with 1200 points and in third Alure with 1100 points. Pretty tight race.
So there were 37 teams consisting of 209 anglers. There were 65 billfish caught, 2 Black Marlin, 14 Blue Marlin, 45 Striped Marlin, and 4 Sailfish. Other catches included 6 Yellowfin Tuna, 10 Wahoo and 2 Dorado. Overall the tournament was a success. Lots of fishermen out on the seas having fun doing what they like to do, fish. And of course the fun competition and stories that go along with all fishing trips.
