Billfish Tournament Photos
We didn’t stay until the end of the 2009 Pensacola International Billfish Tournament weigh-in but we did get to see some really nice fish at the scale. The first swordfish picture was in first place when we left at 205lbs. It was caught on the Endless Summer, a boat that has had some fish pictures posted on this site before, a couple of weeks ago. The other pictures are of 39lb Mahi Mahi which was at the top of the leaderboard when we left. At the end there are some pictures of a 245lb swordfish that was caught by the 12-year old angler on the left aboard the “Jasper Time.” The fish did not meet IFGA Regulations as another angler had to untangle the line from the rudder of the sportfisherman. And a nice shot of a big yellowfin tuna. Here are the pictures:
