Ana María’ wins Marlin category



• A 152.7 kilo Marlin catch on Friday 15th, owner Mark Martin and his crew got their second crown of the year at Riviera Nayarit’s fishing tournament
• Complicated but fun was the second day of competition at Bahía de Banderas

The crew of Ana Maria worked hard on Friday 15th to get the best catch at the 5th International Tuna and Marlin Fishing Tournament at Bahia de Banderas, and did well with their 152.7 kg Marlin that was enough to win their second championship of the year. Just last month, they also won the San Blas Tournament.
Rainfall on Friday night made things difficult for Saturday fishing, the runner ups in the Marlin category for the second and third place of the competition were caught, and only one out of three tunas caught qualified for the minimum weight, a 51 kilograms yellow finned caught by Hold On that sufficed to give them the third place in the competition. The 65.5 kg catch presented on Friday by “My Way” and the 65 kg tuna also presented on Friday by the “Guayabitos” Team, made first and second place.
“Two years ago I bought this boat and decided to spend my time fishing in the Mexican Pacific during the Winter. I’m from Germany but live in Pennsylvania, I have been coming to Nayarit ever since and have already won six Marlin Tournaments, including this year´s at San Blas and now Bahia de Banderas. Today (Sunday) we had no luck, but we are still happy because we have won the tournament”, said Mark Martin.
The crew of 007, that arrived early on Sunday with a 105.4 kilo Marlin –just over the minimum weight—said that the last day of competition wasn´t easy at all. “We were out looking for fish the whole day and could only get a catch at La Corbeteña with enough time to get back on the marina”, they were excited about making third place.
Nayarit is one of the best fishing destinations in the world, as it offers great fishing year-round and a great variety of fish like wahoo, sailfish, tuna, three different species of marlin, sawfish, and snapper, among many others.
