SECOND ANNUAL LOS SUENOS MARLIN INVITATIONAL SEPARATES THE MEN FROM THE BOYS

As is tradition in Los Sueños, the word around the docks just before the Second Annual Los Sueños Marlin Invitational held out of the Los Sueños Marina in Costa Rica November 18-21, 2009, was that there were just no fish to be found. The outlook remained grim after DAY 1, given that the 13 participating teams, with a total of 45 anglers, only managed to hook and release 27 billfish (16 sails and 11 marlin). All that really meant to the tournament participants though going into DAY 2 was that they were going to have to push their fish finding abilities up to full throttle and make up for lost time! By lines out on DAY 3, the fish count reached a respectable 148 billfish, of which 123 were sails and 25 were marlin, accounting for 17% of the total releases.
