Los Cabos Billfish Tournament

The Los Cabos Billfish Tournament took place October 13th, 14th and 15th. We've been crazy busy around here but wanted to be sure and recap this super exciting tournament!

We had one of our very own, RumRunnin, Captain Javier and Mate Jesus fishing in the tournament this year once again with Joe Assenza, his buddies Dave and Randy and his two sons Jason and Darryl. Last year these guys fished the Billfish Tournament and placed Day 1 in the Wahoo Jackpot bringing them home a nice chunk of change along with a trophy we've had proudly displayed at our office. This year they too were able to find a spot on stage with a check and nice trophy.

Jason was the lucky angler on Day 3, who is a 22 year old recent college graduate from Indiana and it was his first real time deep sea fishing. Don't let his inexperience fool you, he was able to land that Blue Marlin quite smoothly. And just when you think that these tournaments are only for professionals, don't be fooled, we welcome all levels to participate. Team RumRunnin came back on Day 3 to the scales with the monster Blue Marlin not sure of it's weight. They were the first boat of the day back with a Marlin on board, with word of two other boats with Marlin on board as well. Scales went up and this monster weighed a whopping 465 pounds! Although it didn't beat the first place Marlin that weighed in at 713 pounds from Day 1, it was the biggest fish of the day so far. Not too much later the two other boats weighed in their Marlin weighing 466 pounds and 463 pounds. It's amazing how important a pound is in fishing, because in this case it bumped our proud crew to 3rd place. Team RumRunnin graciously accepted their 3rd place overall in the tournament with the 3rd biggest Marlin in the 3 day tournament. We're so proud of Jason and the whole team for their wonderful sportsmenship and great attitude. We thank you guys for letting us keep your trophy and check for display in the office, for bragging rights on your behalf! Well done guys, we'll see you again next year. And for those that are interested in fishing in any of these fun tournements let us know.
