This year the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament (LCBT), which is usually a 3 day tournament, became a ONE day tournament due to weather. Hurricane Pamela neared and with Port Closures, only one day was fished. One day was enough though, as it turns out, to land qualifying fish in every Division of the Tournament. We were very happy to see two of our Pisces Vessels winning in the Wahoo and Tuna Divisions and having an All Cabo Local Winners circle!!
1st Place Billfish For Day 1 went to Sneak Attack with a 554lbs Black Marlin caught by Angler Steven Perry under Captain Vicente Bojorquez.
2nd Place For Day 1 went to Team Hooray with a 343 Lbs Black Marlin caught by Angler Eric Dunn and Captain Pancho Bojorquez.
Pisces 35’ Bill Collector 2 took Day One Wahoo with a 38.9 Lbs for our Wahoo King Captain Gil Castro and angler Scott Kindseth. Pisces 32’ Bill Collector had the only Tuna weighed of the tourney by angler Mitch M , Captained by Juan Lopez. 28 pounds was all they needed to take 1st Place. Boat El Torito took the Dorado Division with a 37 pounder.
