Bahamas Wahoo Challenge @ The Bimini Big Game Club
11 Nov 20104:23 PM
The Big Game Is On! The 1st leg of the Bahamas Wahoo Challenge begins today at the Bimini Big Game Club! Capt. Ned Stone, Dir. of Program Development for Guy Harvey Outpost Ltd. , headed to the BBGC early yesterday to prepare for the tournament. Ned took a quick break from the action to send us a report of the pre-tournament conditions:
“We were blessed with an amazingly beautiful day today. I went by the Bimini Biological Field Station – AKA the Shark Lab – for a quick visit with staffers Christine, Jill and Brian. We decided to take advantage of the good weather and headed back to the BBGC with hopes of tagging a bull shark or two. The sharks showed up – along with a good number of tarpon (including one upwards of 100lbs.) – but no luck so far on getting a bite. It seems the bulls are smart enough to know when we put a hook in the bait!
The marina is starting to fil up. The Sarah K and the Airborne are in and getting ready for the Wahoo Challenge, and a half dozen catamarans came in to clear on their way East. It’s been another busy day in Paradise!”
Ned will be sending more updates and photos throughout the week, so continue to follow the Guy Harvey Outpost blog, Facebook Page and Twitter feed for full reports on all the action from the Wahoo Challenge.

ALICE TOWN, BIMINI-NOVEMBER 21, 2011-Management at the <a title="BBGC web site" href="http://www.biggameclubbimini.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bimini Big Game Club</a>, a <a title="GHO web site" href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Guy Harvey Outpost Resort and Marina</a> has created a novel challenge tied into their newly announced bonefish fishing travel package - break any world record in any line class for <a title="About bonefish" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonefish" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">bonefish</a> or <a title="About permit" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permit_(fish)" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">permit</a> on fly or spinning rod and win a week's all-inclusive stay for two!

Perhaps the most remembered bonefish record was set in 1971 by Virginia Beach sportsman Jerry Lavenstein, who along with legendary guide Ansil Saunders landed a 16-pound, 3-ounce monster just some 300 yards from the
historic Big Game Club.

Infectious enthusiasm could easily be the catch phrase for fishing on <a title="Bouncer's Dusky" href="http://www.captbouncer.com/">Bouncer's Dusky</a>. For a big and energetic guy Bouncer always manages to convey the best of humanity. He is known for always treating people with kindness and dignity. On top of that he is a fabulous fisherman. His clients have caught a long list of World Record fish. He is just as proud of all the families who fish with him and all the kids who can say they caught their "First ________ (fish in the blank)" fishing with Bouncer.
Congratulations Bouncer on an honor well deserved! Check out Fishing with Bouncer on the web at: <a title="www.captbouncer.com" href="http://www.captbouncer.com/charter.htm">http://www.captbouncer.com/charter.htm</a> https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/congratulations-bouncer/){kind=link}
