Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, 4 Nov 2010 Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot Tournament Results from Picante Sportfishing

The results from the first day of the 2010 Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot Tournament are in. With water temperatures hovering about 82F and the winds brisk it was a tough day of fishing. All the boats are out there looking for the elusive 300 pounder. A couple of weeks ago a giant tuna was caught out off Gordo Banks. All the boats in the tournament are hoping to find the sibling of that 351 pound giant Yellowfin Tuna.

Something that big would be a sure winner. But for now only smaller fish are being taken. They are respectable fish, but not what everyone is hoping for. But with 118 teams there have been 12 fish taken over 100 lbs. so things are looking good and everyone is hoping for that big one.



Today winners were Afishonados with a very nice 180.0 pound Yellowfin Tuna that netted them $44,600.00 in optional jackpot winnings.

Second place went to KW's Karma, a 43' Cabo Flybridge Yacht in the Picante Sportfishing fleet, with an 167.1 pound Yellowfin Tuna and optional jackpots totaling $70,800.00 according the scoring boards.



Third place went to Shambala with a 133.1 pound Yellowfin, netting them $41,200.00 in optional jackpots.

The other big winner was Marea with a 34.8 pound Wahoo that brought in $32,000.00.

These are unofficial reports until the official announcements at the Saturday Awards Dinner.

Tune in tomorrow for updated reports.
