\"tuna-cabo-tournament-2013-2\"<\/a>The 15th Annual W. O. N. Tuna Shootout is over and the biggest fish is the Yellowfin caught by Dick Lansfield on the \u201cReel Quest\u201d, a fish that will earn his team almost a quarter of a million dollars! The Wahoo caught by The team on \u201cCheers I\u201d will take today\u2019s Wahoo\/Dorado Jackpot. It\u2019s time to party! My next post will be Sunday morning with my weekly report. Meanwhile, tight lines!<\/p>\n

Right now \u201cReel Quest\u201d stands to walk away with almost $240,000, with all today\u2019s jackpots and the largest fish of the tournament. The only money they would not take is the Wahoo\/Tuna Jackpot. The boat was fishing between the Golden Gate Bank and the Finger Bank using a kite over a pod do Porpoise, skipping a rigged \u201cYummy Flier\u201d under the kite. According to the angler the fight took around an hor before they were able to gaff this giant Yellowfin Tuna. As I write this, there is only 4 minutes left!<\/p>\n

Western Outdoor News Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot Tournament<\/strong> Day #2<\/strong>
\nPosted on November 8, 2013 by captgeo<\/p>\n

While yesterday began with overcast skies and a light rain over the area, it didn\u2019t dampen the spirits of the 136 teams competing in Western Outdoor News 2013 Tuna Shootout. Known far and wide as the \u201cBluecollar Tournament\u201d, these anglers are here as much for the fun, fishing and parties as they are for the competition. With the entry fee into the basic tournament set at only $800 for a team of four anglers, you can enjoy the parties, the fishing and the chance at winning some of the great give-aways such as fishing trips to Alaska, rods and reels and much more, around $100,000 total. You also have a chance at catching a fish large enough to win some money!<\/p>\n

\"tuna-cabo-tournament-2013\"<\/a>This years tournament did not find as many large fish caught on day one as last years, last year there were a dozen Yellowfin over 200 pounds brought to the scales. Yesterday only three fish were weighed over 100 pounds. The largest was 147 pounds, the second largest was 131 pounds and the other large fish was 123 pounds. Having the largest fish does not always mean it\u2019s worth more money though, as a fish weighing only 85 pounds was across the board in the jackpots and the largest Yellowfin was only entered in the Wahoo\/Dorado category! You just never know!<\/p>\n

Today started on a much drier note as the cloud cover and rain moved off to the east. The wind remained light and the seas reasonably calm as the boats spread across the fishing area, with more of them heading south and west than yesterday. As the scales opened at 2 PM it was only a short wait as two very nice fish were delivered to the scales. First in was a 170 pound Yellowfin caught aboard the \u201cReigna de Wahoo\u201d and shortly thereafter the boat \u201cAndrea\u201d brought a slightly larger fish, at 172.6 pounds up the slope of the dock ramp.<\/p>\n

Yesterday fish ended up taking some money, but were eclipsed in size by today\u2019s front runners. The second largest fish yesterday took home daily jackpot money to the tune of $83,400 while the 87.5 pound fish had a greater payout at a total of $114,000. The largest yesterday at 147.8 and the third largest at 123.1 were entered only in the Wahoo\/Dorado Jackpot and took home no jackpot money! These guys may just pony up next year! As of 3PM on the second day, the largest fish in the Wahoo\/Dorado Jackpot is a beautiful 52.6 pound Wahoo caught by team \u201cKoi Sushi\u201d, and earned them $46,800 for yesterday\u2019s daily.<\/p>\n
