Hi Everybody,
It's been a wild couple of weeks, and I have to say two of our funnest tournaments yet! The fishing in Cabo was the best it's been in decades which kept us all guessing until the last minute. As it turned out, eighteen teams took home prizes between the Los Cabos Offshore and Black & Blue.
Record setting crowds attended the weigh-ins in front of the Puerto Paraiso Mall. There was plenty of action to keep them entertained, and for those who couldn't attend, there was lots of coverage on the internet including a live webcam at the scales, real-time catch reporting, GPS tracking of every boat in the tournament in a "Google-Earth" type format and, for the first time in history, a live broadcast from offshore.
Thanks very much to all our sponsors and everyone who attended. We had a blast!
See you next year!
