The 2011 Great Marlin Race is Off to a Good Start

Tags went out this morning with six teams: the Bay of Islands Swordfish Club, the Laguna Niguel Billfish Club #1 (which is also carrying the tag sponsored by West Marine), the Balboa Angling Club, the Game Fishing Club of South Australia and the Louisiana Hot Sauce Angling Club. An eighth tag will go out with the Kona Game Fishing Club - Taiyo tomorrow. From this list it is obvious that, not only have a lot of tags been sponsored - but the sponsors have come from all around the world.
The fishing off Kona has been excellent in the days leading up to the tournament, with several very large females having been encountered by a number of boats. This is great news for the Great Marlin Race, and we'll hope that tags start going out soon!
