Mako Madness
Tournament July
19th/20th 2002
 
 
 
 

This is a worlds first and world record for two days of fishing with not a single mako killed or weighed in for the tournament. One tagged mako was recovered #883 white tag and DFG tag # 021031 by Team Europa- even though the white tag number had instructions to keep and send a spine sample in they elected to release this fish unharmed and removed the tags.

The 464 mako's released did not include lost fish that were hooked up 78 Mako's were lost according to all records.
Saturday : 220 releases
Sunday : 244 releases

Team Psyc-o-Fish hooked into a 312lb Thresher and elected to keep it for dinner since they had never caught a thresher before and one other team Europa in the last few minutes on Sunday requested that they keep their last mako for dinner which we told them was their choice. This did not count for the tournament and they did weigh this fish at 149 lbs and fed their whole team of 6

Polygraphs were conducted immediately after the tourney while everyone sat down and enjoyed a fantastic Claim Jumper dinner and desserts.

Polygraphs are still ongoing before we can release ANY information or results. If all goes well the Ford Truck has been won and an awards date will be announced shortly.
