$1.348. mil. Not bad for a
day of fishing.
Two weeks before my first trip to Loreto about 8
years ago, a fisherman landed a 717lb black marlin in a
panga!!! -On conventional 'light' gear!
I figure if he can do it on a light reel with 80lb
test, a flyfisherman with a 17wt, w/60lb backing, and 50lb test tippet might
have a shot at a 500lb'er.
If he would have caught that fish in the
tournament, it would have been worth $2.5 million or more. The winning
fish at the 2005 Bisbee was 531lbs.

I'm in the wrong
business...
The Bisbee tournament was held up a day by that
small hurricane that blew across Cabo.
It started this morning with a shotgun start,
400+ teams of anglers, &
$4.237 million in cash awards!
If my marlin fly catches a billfish, it will be
the first time in the history of the tournament that a fly has caught
one.
