Doubling down

The Gambler, just doubled down with two hook ups... The watchers and listeners are wondering to themselves and aloud - will one of these finally be a "keeper?"

You will know as soon as I do...

Letting go...

Chaser has released their marlin - official time, 9:57.

Recap:

Good Karma - 1
Bad Company - 2
Chaser - 1

The wind, out of the east, has a bit of a chill in it... But that is not stopping the best of the best as they fish Riviera Zane Grey....

Two more to release

Bad Company has officially released their two marlin -

Chaser is still fighting their marlin -

More to come...

Good Karma - first to release

Good Karma is the first to release their marlin. Good Karma will receive 7 strand EAL lure for being the first team to release ... nice job all the way around Good Karma

The board is lit - the scale is open - the people are waiting, asking, begging, wanting to see a marlin... Only time will tell

More releases to come...

Adding to the list....

Good Karma has hooked up as well....

Team Bad Company is still fighting their double

Chaser is still fighting their marlin as well...

All of this is happening in C1 still...

Stay tuned for up to minute results of who has hooked up and who has released their marlin...

Guess who's hooked up, hooked up again?????

Team Bad Company (www.badcoteam.com) has doubled down Vegas style with the first hook up of the morning and they have made it a double. The team is all the way up in C1 - the West end of the island - almost all the hook ups happened there yesterday...

Chaser followed up Bad Company with their own hook up....

The bite is getting....

More to come and tight lines...

Lines out...

Stan at MarlinNut.com has pondered - "did you not pay the fish today?" We never pay fish to bite on days that end in "Y" my friend...

On a serious note, today was a bit slower with 15 marlin caught and released. Here is a recap of the day - (these results are unofficial until the tapes are reviewed by tournament control):

Bad Company - 4
Club Ted - 2
Angel and the Bad Man - 2
After Midnight - 2
C-Bandit - 1
Ruckus - 1
Scrambler - 1

Tomorrow, i.e. Wednesday ends in "Y" so sorry Stan we will not be paying any marlin to bite. We need to leave that up to great anglers...

Tight lines... More fun and marlin tomorrow

Best of luck to all the teams....

Day 2: Shotgun bang!

The smooth voice of tournament control set the anglers loose on the cool blue pacific waters - all them eager to hunt down more marlin. Just like yesterday 5 teams went West and the rest went South East... Around tournament control veteran, Grant Hunner, has a cup a hot joe on the fact that a marlin hook up will be called in no later then 7:45... Just an hour and 15 to prove him write or wrong...

Stay tuned for continued, up to the minute coverage of the Riviera Zane Grey Invitational Marlin Tournament...
