2007 MINI WCBRT RESULTS
Team "Reelaxe" Wins and Sets New World Record
Cabo San Lucas Mexico, 9th Dec 2007 - Mini WCBRT Results and New World Records Set
Cabo considered the Striped Marlin Capital of the World by knowledgable blue water anglers, was certainly not disapointing as world records were shattered in numerous catagories! This tournament was designed by fisherman to be a tournament "For fishermen by fishermen". The Mini WCBRT Dec 7th & 8th was introduced after the prestigious WCBRT three day all circle hook May event, being a 100% catch-and-release tournament.

The Mini WCBRT was designed to take advantage of Cabo's most productive time for stripped marlin. And it was a huge success! The team average for the two day tournament was a mind blowing 231.4 fish per boat. With the high individual angler catching 59 marlin in one day. More than most serious marlin fisherman will catch in a life time. All the marlin were released!

The WCBRT tournament produced more released striped marlin ever in the history of a money tournament worldwide all on circle hooks. The World Championship Billfish Tournament is an IGFA qualifying event. The WCBRT has again proven and leads the way for other billfish tournaments by putting on a circle hook only, 100%, "No Muerto" ( No Kill) release money tournament in Mexico.
