On board today also Guy Orsler & friends.
Also they caught some nice Common Stingrays and a Barracuda.
The White Marlin made the choice today to go fishing on the deeper reef in front of Pasito Blanco.
The fishermen aboard this boat caught manny Comber, Seabreams, Snappers, Moray and Amberjack.
In our Photo Archives you will see some pictures from this catch.
From the three boats, it was the Cavalier who won today the `light tackle trophy`.
It was Hafid himself who starts this morning on only 20 lb tackle a fight with a 81 pounds Hammerhead Shark.
It took about 20 minutes to land this fish on a leader and swivel with a tension of only 40 lb.
