You could say “the wahoos” ran hard in Bimini during the month of November. The Bahamas Wahoo Smackdown, hosted by the Bimini Big Game Club Resort & Marina on November 16-18, saw more than 60 anglers competing for more than $30,000 in cash and prizes and landing nearly a ton and a half fish in the process.
“It was a perfect weekend with lots of action,” said Tournament Director Capt. Paul Cameron. “The Big Game Club was the perfect host and the fishing Gods were with us. There were a ton of wahoo and the action was very competitive with only .4 of a pound separating first from second place.”
Team Ocean Alley out of Hollywood, FL took top team honors taking home $7,500 in cash winnings. Team members Joey Jordan, Alex Antunez, Alfonzo Llanes, Tony Provenzano and Todd Smith caught the largest fish (61.4 pounds) and a total catch weight at 225 pounds.
Team Fishless out of Miami, FL finished second with the second largest catch of 58 pounds and a total catch of 311.2 pounds. Chasin Tails of Miami, FL finished in third with the third largest catch of 53.8 pounds and a total weight of 199.4 pounds.
A repeat tournament scheduled for February 21-23 is planned for the end of- season wahoo run. For more information, contact Michael Weber at mweber@biggameclubbimini.com or visit www.biggameclubbimini.com.
