Competitors will try to break all previous records at Riviera Nayarit
• The IV International Marlin and Tuna Tournament is offering almost $1.5 million pesos in prizes
• The struggle to break the current weight record set at 332.3 kilos for the marlin category and 176 kilos for the tuna category will begin on August 12th
When the IV International Marlin and Tuna Tournament of Riviera Nayarit begins on August 12, it'll offer almost $1.5 million pesos in prizes. The event will take place at Marina Riviera Nayarit at La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, with approximately 60 participating vessels.
On July 31, Riviera Nayarit Fishing Club's manager Raul Serna Navarro and president Andres Famania Ortega presented the tournament to the media at a press conference. Marc Murphy, head of the Convention and Visitors Bureau of Riviera Nayarit, and Jonathan de Leon, in representation of the hosting marina attended the event.
This is the fourth time this tournament takes place in our destination, and the organizers are expecting competitors to break all 2007 weight records, which were 332.3 kilos in the marlin category and 176 kilos in the tuna category. To encourage participants, additional prizes have been put forward: a 2010 Nissan Tsuru for the first record-breaking marlin, and a 2010 Nissan Tiida for the first record-breaking tuna.
This year, four different categories were defined by the Banderas Bay Sport Fishing Club: the two that give this competition its name and that offer the most important prizes (tuna and marlin), and additionally dolphin-fish and sailfish categories in a catch and release form, with special prizes.
Competitors can register in teams of up to four members per boat. Only non-electronic rod and reel, 130-pound lines and simple bait will be allowed.
On the sailfish category, each participating team will have to photograph each one of their catches including a timestamp. The winning team will be the one that catches the largest number of fish. In the remaining categories, the winner will be defined by the weight of the catch.
