2023 Pescadora Billfish Championship

Championship Website

Greetings,


We're excited to announce that the Reel Queens will be fishing in the Pescadora Billfish Championship. The Pescadora is a women’s only billfishing championship that’s been named a Top 20 Offshore Tournament winner for all of the America’s. The tournament is designed to promote women in the sport by combining notice and experienced lady anglers to compete for the title of the World’s Top Lady Anglers. Truly unique in including both hook & hand and hook your own, the Pescadora’s goal is to encourage women to step out of their comfort zone by doing something they haven’t before. The Tournament will be held February 16th-18th, 2023 at Marina Pez Vela in Quepos, Costa Rica.

Meet the Queens 

Jennifer "JT"

JT lives in the Locust Point neighborhood of Baltimore City. Born and raised in Baltimore, she'll tell you the Domino Sugar sign is her back yard. A water bug from birth she discovered a love of fishing as a young girl flounder fishing in the Assawoman Bay while on vacation in Ocean City, Maryland. When she's not fishing, or planning her next fishing adventure, JT works as a Commercial Real Estate Lender in MD/DC/VA and enjoys trail running and hiking with her sweet Labrador Retriever, Olive. 


Fishing Costa Rica has always been a dream. JT's goal for the tournament is to catch her first Blue Marlin and try her hand at hooking her first fish solo!
