Giant 198.1 Pound Yellowfin Tuna Captures Lead in Day One of the Los Cabos Tuna Jackp

[Team Picante]

3 November 2011 Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico.
Day one of the Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot tournament had just come to an end. There were 108 boats entered in the tournament, but only a few hit the scales with qualifying fish. The big fish of the day was a 198.1 pound giant Yellowfin Tuna that got lots of ooo’s and ahhhh’s from the crowd. Eleven tuna were weighed and only 4 were over 100 pounds. There is nothing wrong with tuna under 100 pounds, but in the Tuna Jackpot everyone is looking for the giants. And the 198.1 pound Yellowfin Tuna caught on the Angelina fit the bill to a tee.



And a 55.5 pound Wahoo caught by the Checkmate won the day 1 Wahoo/Dorado Jackpot.



Now the big excitement is coming up. With the showing of fish today the fishermen will be energized to go out and work hard for some winners. And with the winds still down the boats will be ready to run the distance out to the tuna grounds.
