Silver King Communications B&B Day 1 Fire October 22, 2009, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico: Fiery Start to Bisbee’s Black & Blue Marlin Jackpot Tournament By Dave Lear The yacht The Bottom Line is resting on the bottom on the Sea of Cortez. Minutes after the flare starting the 29th Annual Bisbee’s Black & Blue Marlin Tournament doused in the ocean, one of the participating sportfishing boats already miles away caught fire and sank. All seven crew members aboard were rescued by Sneak Attack, another tournament contestant. Mexican rescue boats and tournament officials were also quickly on the scene. “It was miraculous no one was seriously injured,” said tournament director Wayne Bisbee, as he and the rescued anglers watched the burning vessel slowly dip below the surface aboard the tournament committee boat, Team Baja Cantina. “It was a tragic and a very humbling experience.” A total of 94 boats are competing in the world’s richest sportfishing event. Anglers are vying for nearly $2 million in prize money. The Bottom Line, a 50-foot Hatteras convertible, homeported in Cabo and was coming off a 2nd place win in the Bisbee’s Los Cabos Offshore Tournament that took place on Oct. 16-18. Fishing will continue through Saturday, after a one-day delay due to Hurricane Rick.

The pictures really make me think that someone got hurt. But it is a relief no one did.

Hottest Show In Town
Wow ... not the way you'd like to start an event - good to see help was right there.
Went through a similar experience in the mid-90's - scary to see just how quickly things can get out of control. Here's hoping all the rest of the news from down there is good. |

Condolences to the crew of the Bottome Line. A definate pat on the back for Sammy and the crew of Sneak Attack. I feel horrible for Captain T.J. on the Bottom Line, the whole crew is great and the owner is always very personable and gracious. I attached a picture of the Bottom Line, a late model 50 Hatteras without a tower, during better times and a picture of the Sneak Attack a 65 ACY. Sneak Attack deserves a big one today.
