Last weekend July 30, 31 and August 1st was the first annual Hooked on San Carlos Fishing Tournament. There was a great turnout for the first ever 16 boats entered with 80 participants including the captains. The total pay out to winners was 12,860 US dollars, and 3,700 was donated to Sonora is Safe by the tournament towards promoting San Carlos and Guaymas area in the US and Canada. For more about Sonora is Safe please visit http://sonoraissafe.com/ . The amount of fish was great due to the fact that fishing has been hit or miss here in the past couple of months. In all there were 82 fish, the breakdown was 20 marlin, 41 Sailfish (which all billfish were released), 17 dorado, and 4 tuna.
The overall winning boat was D'Becca, with Kriptonite and D'Becca being the Saturday and Sunday winners.
Again Jerry and I were not involved because we had friends here from back home, but I did go and hangout and watch all the boats come in to weigh the fish. It was a lot of fun, but I am determined that Jerry and I will be in a tournament before we leave here!
