Bisbee’s Black & Blue Starts Today!

19 Oct 20106:06 PM

Bisbee’s Black & Blue Marlin Tournament kicks off today in Cabo San Lucas. Now in it’s 30th year, the event is one of big game fishing’s grandest – and richest – tournaments.

It is also one of the most recent to convert to a “circle hooks only” policy when fishing with natural baits. This is a signifcant move in that several studies have shown survival rates after release are much higher for billfish caught on circle hooks as opposed to standard J hooks.

The fishing runs from Wed, Oct 20th – Friday, the 22nd. You can follow live scoring here and check in on the action with live video here.
