First billfish tournament on the boat. ALMOST (even though I know it doesn't take the cake, it really was so close) won the tournament. Memorial Day Classic Outboard Shootout in Orange Beach. Caught a Blue Marlin, wahoo, and 2 dolphin. I was very proud to see these flags flying when our team came up to the dock (Ben, Spence, Chase, and Kevin). Apparently, video footage is extremely important in a catch and release tournament. The Blue Marlin was "caught" (swivel touched the rod tip) but never broke the water and the non-polarized camera could not see through the water to see the fish, even though the boys could. The video was reviewed over and over but you just couldn't see it. BUT...a great, memorable weekend of fishing for this crew and an experience that will only make them better. :)
