SOUTHERN PRIDE VICTORIOUS IN CARIBBEAN CUP

The Southern Pride fishing team, comprised of owner Ted Smith along with Gerard Aliseo, Russell Petranto and Tucker Colquhoun, led the Chivas Regal Aruba Caribbean Cup nearly wire to wire. The team released a pair of blue marlin and a white marlin early on Day One and never relinquished the lead from that point forward. They finished the tournament with 2100 points; four blue marlin, one white marlin and a pair of sailfish in four days of tournament competition.

Second place fell to the Aruban-based Alina, captained by Eric Mansur. The team released a Grand Slam for the boat on Day Two, winding up the event with 1900 points; three blue marlin, one white marlin and three sailfish (plus 100 additional bonus points for the Grand Slam).

The OBX team, fishing on the Teaser, slid into third place with a big move on the third day of the tournament. They finished the event with 1400 points; four white marlin and two sailfish.

The anglers, observers, captains and crews really enjoyed the tournament, which featured good fishing in unseasonably calm seas and plenty of warm-hearted Aruban hospitality along the way.

Tonight is the gala awards presentation and dinner to be held at the Aruba Surfside Marina.
