La Paz Gold Cup 2008 - And the winner is?
The kids!
The second annual Gold Cup Black and Blue Marlin tournament ended today with just one legal fish caught during the two day tournament! Water temperatures were just a little too warm as 240 anglers used all their skills and talents to hook up the big one. The winner of the tournament will receive the cash prize for largest fish of the tournament, but much of the other prize money will not be claimed because of the unusual result of the first day…no fish were brought in! The Prize money of all the unclaimed categories is added to the charity jackpot, and will be distributed to the those who need it most. DIF, the agency for under privileged Children will use the funds to buy much needed prosthetic limbs.The Rotary Club will continue as they always do to provide the resources for a better quality of life for many Baja families.
We were very very pleased at the outcome of the tournament, and ultimate challenge for the fishing teams, with only one winning team. The Ultimate Fishing Tournament.
Tomorrow night, at the festivities to wrap up the tournament, there will be many raffles providing more gifts and necessities for the charities. As well, several auctions will take place providing even more cash for those who need it the most…the kids. We are very pleased to be part of this great Charity event! More tomorrow on the festivities and wrap up.
