Last weekend Cozumel’s biggest fishing tournament took place. This year, 151 boats participated in the “Rodeo de Lanchas Mexicanas,” which is in it’s 42nd year. This year’s surprising first place winner was a Puerto Aventuras whaling- style boat, “Blackfin Sun Beach” who pulled in 2 blue marlins (one of which was over 310 lbs.), and a catch-and-release white marlin securing the win, with 34,094 points. The Cozumel-based “Chono of the Sea,” also a whaler, that captured a 311lb. marlin, secured second place. Cozumel Island was well represented with a second, third and fifth place boat. This was the first year that this important tournament offered a catch and release option.
