Catch Counts
In 2008, more than 95% of the billfish that were caught during the tournament were released. Only 19 fish were brought to the scales at Harbour Island to be weighed. For a fish to be worth any prize money, it must meet the tournament minimums for weight and girth. These minimums exceed federal minimums.
Below are the day-by-day statistics, broken down by species.
