Congratulations to Capt. Eddy Lawler of Peak Sport Fishing and his team on Black Marlin for taking out the win with 6 blues and 2 blacks for the 3 days. They also released a stripe without the tag so no counted for the tournament but made for a slam on Day 2. The fishing was outstanding this year with over 60 blues tagged in the 3 days. 24 boats fished.
