The boat Pecado wins the Puerto Calero Fishing Tournament

If the conditions of the first day were good for fishing, those of the second day were unbeatable and it was demonstrated with the large number of reports that came to the contest control.

The earliest was the Daifai announcing the release of a white, but shortly after the great protagonist of deep-sea fishing tournaments came on the scene, the blue marlin, and there were up to eight blue marlins certified, and three of them by the Pecado boat of Carlos Martinez, from Tenerife.

These three marks together with a white made him the absolute champion with the highest score, which gives him direct access to the 2020 Costa Rica World Cup, an award for the highest blue marlin score and one of the novelties of this year, the Mapfre Special Prize of 20,000? which is awarded to the boat that reports two blue marlins during the championship.

In the white category, the Sendamar boat from Conejera, owned by Antonio Fernández, wins the prize with the report of two white marlins.

The Peto and Dorados prizes would go to the Azores boat and the Javier HV boat for the catches of the first day. The youth prize would go to Manuel Naranjo, from the Hakaloo Dos boat, and the best image, a prize that Canarias Lures gives every year, for the Viento Fresco boat of Pedro Cabrera.

The participants were able to enjoy a great closing party with an exquisite dinner organized by D.O. Eventos on a spectacular artificial beach that also served as the stage for the Los Lolas concert.
