Huk Big Fish Classic Results

The 3rd Annual Big Fish Classic is in the books and it was a terrific event.  Just as we expected, today was the busiest day of scales action as 61 boats fished the window from 7AM yesterday until 3PM today.  There were fish waiting at the dock when scales opened at 4PM and the action didn’t stop until just before the scales closed at 8PM.  Big thanks to Brian Roberts, Stephen Lewis and all of the crew and organizers of the Huk Big Fish Classic for putting on an awesome event.

The “Big Fish” of the tournament came in today and was weighed by Fish in OC charter Marli with Captain Mark Hoos and mate Mark Stephens.  The crew of the Marli posted the only qualifying blue marlin of the tournament at 407 pounds.  Marli won 1st Place Big Fish and including all of the added entry levels won over $105,000!!  Congratulations to Marli and crew!

My buddy Tommy Hinkle and the crew of the Fish Whistle had a great day out in the deep for the BFC.  The crew of the Fish Whistle missed the mark with a non qualifying blue marlin, but the bigeye tuna that weighed 190 pounds won them quite a bit of money.  After adding entry levels to 3rd Place Biggest Fish the crew of Fish Whistle won over $73,000.

Captain Frank bumped his good buddy and fellow Fish in OC charter C Boys with Captain Luke Blume.  Captain Luke and crew caught a nice 23.5 pound fish that was on the board for a short time and lost a mako boat side that would have done some damage in the tournament.
