Los Cabos, MEXICO (November 24, 2014) – The Free Angler Entry Los Cabos Big Game Charter Boat Classic, presented by the Los Cabos Tourism Board, registered 340 anglers from all over the world as the four-day event came to a close. Participants, including those from England, Denmark, Sweden, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Mexico and twenty five states in the United States all fished on Los Cabos Charter Boats in hopes of winning some of the $40,000 in cash plus trophies and prizes.
A total of 122 different charter boats from the East Cape, San Jose and Cabo San Lucas took advantage of a great bite, putting the anglers on some very impressive catches. The tournament received dozens of release photos including blue, black and striped marlin and sailfish. Several triple digit tuna hit the scales, along with quality wahoo and dorado. Many of the anglers experienced their first billfish release, catch of a lifetime or a tournament-placing fish. The tournament awarded $10,000 a day each of the four fishing days, with 34 different anglers sharing the $40,000 in purse, plus King Salifish Mounts trophies.
