August 15th: Annual Puerto Vallarta Marlin & Tuna Tournament
Hello world, back at ya with fresh Puerto Vallarta
Fishing Report. We had our annual Marlin & Tuna tournament last weekend at the new
Marina in La Cruz. It was a great turnout for the
tournament with 52 boats in the competition
this year. Captain Steve Torres and his mate Freddy, aboard the SIRENA, did it again-- taking
Home 1st place Catch & Release for the Sirena, raising 6 sailfish in 1 day. Steve and Freddy have now won countless tournaments in PV, Cabo, Mazatlan, and Cancun; and also hold the record for the largest Marlin ever caught in the Puerto Vallarta tournament. Together, they have become one of the most well known crews in Mexico. When asked the question in an interview after the tournament; "After all these years how do you guys do it-- how do always stay on top?"; both replied, "We just love catching big fish!"
1st place Marlin was 305 kilos; 2nd was 300 kilos
1st place Tuna was 107 kilos caught on the 2007 Luhrs with Captain Hector; 2nd place Yellow fin tuna was 102 kilos caught by
the Captain David Chora, on Albermarle.
