Thanks Mike. This event looks very interesting. Good for you, and keep up the great work.
I look forward to meeting you personally one of these days. There is way too many Presidente frios and way too little time.

the whites til now been medium sized, 60 and 65lbs,
the dorados range 25-30lbs each and will be weighted exactly when the boats are back in. the barracuda is just a nasty lil beast who tried to steel baits which should be too big for him, ha ha.
as a tournament rule from myself all billfishes(white marlin, blue marlin, sailfish aso) will be released, bringing a billfish to the dock would disqualify the team with their whole day's catch.
dorados/mahi and wahoo will get weighted here on the beach and get their points by lbs.
the participating teams are fighting each others as Teams, not as single fishermen.
they are fishing as teams together since a long time.
the smallest team contains only 2 fishermen, Team named Wahoo, and they seem to be quiet busy today, they are today fishing on my 36ft Pacemaker named "La Kuky" and are on the lead with white marlin and dorados.
the first white marlin they had hooked only 8 minutes after the tournament start, fight took 10 minutes including the time to release the Billie.

What about fish sizes? How tall/long/wide? Not sure how you estimate those.  |

Actually, according to this calculator: Salt Water Fish Weight Calculator these fishes must be pretty big.
