The weather has improved greatly to say the least and so has the fishing. The port captain slept in on Saturday (or didn’t answer), so we were going. There were a total of eight boats in the tournament. Some boats had a long trip out the first day. Pancho Pancho with Capt. Abel made the trek to pull out a consistent seven fish catch on both days, winning 3rd place for Saturday’s jackpot and 2nd place overall with a 256.5 pounds total. Costa Lotta started off the action on Saturday reporting five fish at noon and were tied up to a big one, looking for a repeat to win the big fish jackpot. An hour and a half later, they pulled up a tail hooked thresher shark estimated at 200 pounds for a clean release. Their energy held for three more fish to take 2nd place for the Saturday jackpot, and ended up with seven on Sunday for a total of 230.5 pounds. Beating them out by half a pound for 3rd place overall with a 2nd place finish on Sunday was team Telamon, who also took the big fish jackpot with a 31 pound monster. With another 29 pound fish in their nine fish total for the day weighing 182 pounds, they added to their first day total of three fish at 49 pounds for a grand total of 231 pounds. The stars of the tournament with 1st place in all five jackpots though was Fun Ticket, led by Capt. Sergio. They put together seven fish on Day 1 that totalled 148 pounds, and nine fish on Day 2 for 194 pounds, amounting to a combined total of 342 pounds. I’ll do the math for you … that’s an average of 21.375 pounds a fish! Reel Lucky came in on Sunday to weigh ten fish for a total of 150.5 pounds and the third place Sunday jackpot. Congratulations to everyone!
In summary:
1st Place – Fun Ticket 342 pounds
2nd Place – Pancho Pancho 256.5 pounds
3rd Place – Telamon 231 pounds
4th Place – Costa Lotta 230.5 pounds
It was a great weekend. Hope to see you there next year!
