TOURNAMENT
H
ost of some of the Bahamas most memorable fishing tournaments in past seasons, the venerable Bimini Big Game Club Resort & Marina is proud to announced the Bahamas Wahoo Smackdown, scheduled for March 12, 13 & 14, 2015. The Bimini Big Game Club, a legendary outpost for fishermen and host to numerous major sportfishing tournaments for more than half a century, officially re-opened in 2010 following completion of a $3,500,000 renovation that included all guest rooms and the new Bimini Big Game Bar & Grill. More recently owners have added the Gulfstream Conference Center and Hemingway¹s Rum Bar & Social Lounge, a fully outfitted watersports facility and a floating dock to accommodate seaplane service directly to and from the resort. Returning to the tournament series for Wahoo Smackdown VI is the celebrated marine wildlife artist and accomplished angler Carey Chen, who has been named Grand Marshal. Chen has again been commissioned to “paint a trophy” that will be awarded to the top team for Smackdown VI. A Carey Chen original is typically valued at $15,000 or more. Joining with Chen as “Official Tournament Photographer” is Pat Ford, an avid angler whose dramatic action shots can be found on the covers of sportfishing magazines around the world. Ford is a retired Trial Lawyer who has developed a second career in marine oriented photography and has published two books “The Best Fly Fishing Trips Money Can Buy: and “Fly Fishing Day Dreams”. “We do know there are some record-sized wahoo swimming in the stream off Bimini,” said Tournament Director Chase Camacho. “In November, fishermen landed a huge 122.7 pounder off Bimini, but because they used an electric reel it disqualified a potential IGFA World Record fish.”
