International Billfish Tournament

Sari Victoria won the International Billfish Tournament with three blue and one white marlin releases. Manuel Saavedra’s Viking 72 released a blue and a white on Day 1 while fishing off San Juan, Puerto Rico. That was followed up with another blue on Day 2 and another on the third and final fishing day. The tally earned Sari Victoria Best Boat while Carlos Luis Rodriguez and Manuel received Best Overall Angler and 2nd Best Angler, respectively. Manuel explained that they achieved the victory, “by capitalizing on all the fish we had. We didn’t miss any!”

Third Best Boat went to the Viking 64 Picara. Best Lady Angler was Carolina Stubbe who fished on the Viking 70 Prisa.
