633 Pound Black Marlin!!!


FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6TH
2009 Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot Tournament, RedRum Sportfishing Results

2nd Place Winner, 2nd day – 3rd Place Winner, overall
Team: # 49 Joe and Sal Catania
Boat: Tantrum
Crew: Captain Ramon and Mate Juan
Catch: 90 pound Tuna
Where: Punta Gorda, 3 millas from shore

This win is great for us and especially for the crew on Tantrum. Captain Ramon received a promotion only a few weeks ago and went from being the Mate on our 33’ El Nuevo to Captain for our 28’ Tantrum. Juan is his Mate and brand new to our team though we’ve known him for many years. A great win for everyone; congratulations guys!

Last years winners, RedRum owners Ryan and John Donovan went out on our 53’ partner boat Missing Lenk and on day #2 of the tournament caught a big one. Unfortunately it was a 633 lb Black Marlin for which there was no division. Here’s a photo of Ryan and his Marlin. If only they had caught this baby two weeks ago during the Bisbees!!!

A group of friends and family fished on three of our partner boats as well on Friday though not as part of the tournament. The first boat caught 12 Dorado weighing between twenty and forty pounds and an eighty pound Sailfish. A second boat caught 3 Dorado and a thirty five pound Wahoo. The third boat caught 6 Dorado a caught and released a Striped Marlin.
