20th Nov - Buswiser Fishing Tournament

Saturday saw Scott in the annual Budwiser sponsored fishing tournament. Without a doubt the wettest day since we arrived. That didn't stop the boys though. It was a catch five tournament with marlin, dolphinfish, wahoo, yellowfin tuna and skipjack tuna being the targets. The boys ended up with four of the five (unfortunately no marlin yet again).

Scott with what is now his best dolphin fish at 21 pounds 2 ounces.

More fish than this were caught but this was the four that made the entries for the tournament.

Number one Steve, number one...... The boys ended up winning the tournament as they were the only boat to catch four of the five species, with five other boats getting three. This skipjack tuna was labelled the $600 fish as it was caught five minutes before heading back for the weigh-in. $600 for first place with another $100 for the biggest dolphinfish. Not a bad days fishing after all but I'm sure everyone slept well after all the shivering in the rain during the day.
